The apartment is in a convenient location close to the main square and cable cart to the beach however situated on a busy corner so the traffic is loud (would bring ear plugs). The apartment smelt of cigarette smoke and it was difficult to get rid of the smell. A cigarette butt was also found in the toilet bowl which was rather unpleasant. The bedroom is very small, hard to move around to the other side of the bed and the bed/pillows were very hard. We had to wait 1.5 hours past our arranged time to collect the key which was very frustrating. To be honest, I wouldn't stay here again as it added a bad experience to our Taormina trip.
