The apartment was lovely, Emanuelle was very friendly and made sure we felt at home in Taormina. When we arrived at the train station he arranged a taxi, which was nice.
It has a stunning view over the sea, but the altitude meant that we had to take a lot of stairs to get to the city. It was about a 10 minute walk on the stairs. The beach could only be reached by a cable car, a bit unhandy because it costed 6 euros and only went every 15 minutes.
The rooms were clean and so was the rest.
