Alida's apartment is the perfect place to explore this unique city. Not only is it beautifully designed, spacious, and bright, it also offers all amenities of modern living: well functioning A/C in each room, a great shower, Nespresso machine, etc. I am a light sleeper but the busy street is shut out by highly sound-insulated windows that, together with the incredibly comfortable bed made me sleep like a baby every night. On top of that Alida is an exceptional host. She greeted us in person and explained it all to us, from how the keys work to which restaurants to visit. She even sent us the daily schedule of the busses to Taormina when we mentioned we wanted to go see their antique amphitheater. She also allowed us to stay longer on the day we left as the apartment had no posterior booking. All in all a perfect experience. We will definitely come back.
