Alfio was a great host, very nice, and extremley helpful! He was always available to answer any questions we had and help us as needed. The apartment was great. It was spacious and had a fully stocked kitchen. The area where we stayed was quiet and had a local feel compared to Taormina which is very touristy, but only a 15 minute bus ride to Taormina, and so very easy to get to. Alfio offered us recommendations on restaurants and tours to take while in Sicily, and he even arranged a taxi for us to the airport. When we arrived, Alfio met us at the bus stop and took us to the apartment. He even had some fruit and snacks for us to eat. He was a wonderful host and the whole experience was very pleasant. We enjoyed our stay in Sicily.
