Alessandra's place is impeccably clean. The sheets, blankets and couch cover all smell fresh and clean. It is cozy but not too small and bright with air and breeze coming from windows. Some places in G.Naxos can be damp inside due to the proximity to the sea but Alessandra's apartment was pleasant and dry.
It also has a nice view from the balcony and us 1 minute walk to the inter bus stop and 10 minute walk to Taormina-Giardini train station which makes trips to nearby towns easy.
It sits on the 4th floor so if you have luggage to carry it could be a bit of workout. Also, it is close to the train track but the noise from the trains wasnt bad and it didnt bother me at all.
Kitchen had enough equipment to cook but it is very basic.
Bathroom was very clean but there was an odor from the sewer. It was controlled well by leaving the bathroom window open and placing a cap on the shower drain.
As for the host Alessandra, she was kind and nice. She met me in front of the apartment, and carried my suitcase to the 4th floor! Whenever I needed something, she responded quickly and brought them to me promptly.
I enjoyed staying at her place!
