The apartment was exactly what I expected from the photos, it was clean, well supplied with necessary cooking equipment, spacious and comfortable. I arrived and departed at odd hours and Maria was extremely accommodating which I especially appreciated because I was travelling alone, and she made me feel very welcome. The apartment is conveniently located to shops, the beach, the bus to Taormina and has a beautiful view. The only slight downside is that traffic was a little loud at night but otherwise I highly recommend this apartment.
