Cristina was amazing!!!! She was so helpful and available with anything and everything we needed for our stay in Taormina. Her place is beautiful with a stunning view off the balcony where you can see Mt. Etna. There are a lot of stairs that you need to climb to get down to the main strip but it's good exercise and does leave you in the middle of all the action right by the Duomo near Porta Catania on one side of the central area. It's about a 15-20 minute walk to the cable car to get down to the beach as well. We were able to pay her to use her garage for our rental car as well which was crucial because finding parking in Taormina can be a nightmare so that was very convenient. She also gave us great tips and advice for our trip to Etna to help us save money which we really appreciated. She really went out of her way to make sure we had a great stay and I look forward to coming back to Taormina and staying at Casa Augosto again!
