We stayed at Francesco's spacious two-bedroom apartment in Taormina. All in all, it was a great experience. The condominium unit offered underground parking which is super convenient and its prime location made it easy for us to walk to various restaurants and bars in Taormina. The large balcony overlooking the waterfront felt extra luxurious.
Do note that the address listed on Airbnb is different from the point of entry which made things quite complicated especially with a lot of one-way streets in the area. After three attempts, we were able to figure out how to reach the underground parking lot. Perhaps, the address needs to reflect this so that visitors can arrive sans problems. Also, you need to take three different clunky elevators to reach the unit from the basement carpark and there is a flight of stairs -- not very convenient with luggage. But that's just the way the place is structured.
The unit appeared recently renovated and was clean with two bathrooms. It is lacking some basic resources - for example, no dish rack in the kitchen or dishwasher and only one small trashcan in the entire place for one bathroom so we ended up using plastic trash bags for the kitchen and in the other bathroom. In the end, these were minor issues as we were mostly dining out.
We enjoyed our time at Francesco's place. Grazie.
