The apartment of Mariangela is nice and compact, good for a couple spending a few days in Taormina. We managed to park our car in the parking house a few steps away from the apartment (rate for 2 days was EUR 21). Mariangela's father greeted us within a few minutes after giving him a call. Altought he does not speak English, we managed to understand each other easily. The view from the apartment is superb, just as the picture shows! The historic centre is a lovely 8 minutes walk from home. The beach is quickly accessible by the cable car from the station located just by a few minutes walk from the apartment. As other comments also mention, the apartment is a bit noisy due to traffic running in front of the house, but if you are a good sleeper, this is not super disturbing with the windows closed. Altogether I would recommend the place!
