Mario's apartment is quite spacious, clean and comfortable. As mentioned in other reviews it is located within easy walking to everything. We were grateful for the A/C as it was hot during our visit and the washer of course. Our check in was excellent with some great tips and directions to the market, restaurants and local favorites. We also had a quick responses from Ann, our contact, when we had questions about the apartment. Spent a day at Caravella beach club and I took a cooking class with Chef Massimo while in Taormina. Both outstanding experiences. Walked down to the park as suggested and spent the day exploring Taormina off the beaten track and found it to be a quaint and lovely town. Thank you for a lovely stay!
