This is a very conveniently located apartment right on the edge of the Old Town of Taormina. It is a corner flat on the ground floor, so the streets next to it are busy until around midnight. If one is following Sicilian time, the neighborhood gets quiet when one is going to bed. We did not find the apartment too loud, as some other guests did. It helps to close the shutters to keep out the noise.
It is just down the street from a little grocery, and a good walking distance from all of the historic sights of Taormina.
Parking on the street is limited, but there is a parking garage very close by. I think it was about €9 to park there for 24 hours which we only had to do once. We found street parking the rest of the days.
The shower is a little tricky (as many reviews stated) but the hot water tank is very small. If one takes a quick shower the hot water will not run out. The shower knob is sensitive, and needs a little finesse to get the temperature right.
The bed is firm as other reviewers mentioned, but we found it comfortable.
The apartment was clean and had some extras (rain umbrellas, sun umbrellas) and the basics (hand and dish soap). Luca is a great host and has excellent communication.
