Gabriele was a great host and the location of the apartment is amazing. A few small streets away from the main drag so a bit more quiet but a short 5 mins or less walk to the center of town. Gabriele offered amazing restaurant local suggestions which were incredible and very much attended by locals not tourists. The bathroom is completely brand new which was great and the apartment is spacious enough for a couple on vacation. By the way, Taormina is amazing. My boyfriend and I were engaged during this trip and we highly recommend visiting Isola Bella - the best beach on the island!
