Mike was a great host and the apartment was exactly as described. We had an absolutely wonderful stay and would definitely stay again on our next visit to Taormina. The views are magnificent off the many balconies in the apartment. We had four people stay in the apartment and we were very comfortable. The apartment is on the top floor so you do have many steps up to the apartment, since your on the top floor it is what gives you the great views. Elena, Mikes assistant handed over the keys once we arrived in Taormina, she was very pleasant and very helpful during our stay. Again great place and we cannot wait to visit Taormina again.
