The apartment is in a great, low-key location away from the tourist-cramped streets of Taormina but still convenient to main sights and beautiful beaches. The yard and pool are serene, and the other neighbors/guests were friendly and considerate. The apartment itself was clean, functional, and equipped with all the basics for a comfortable stay. Elvira is a friendly, well-organized host and readily offered us suggestions on activities in the area and nearby restaurants. The sofa bed was a little small and uncomfortable for an adult but would be perfect for children.
