We arrived at the bus station in Taormina and there were no taxis available and Gabriele was very kind to call us a taxi so we could get to the apartment. The apartment is very clean, it has everything you need and the view is absolutely breathtaking (the balcony is bigger than we would expect). Please be aware the apartment is in a safe area but you have to walk for about 10 to 15 minutes to reach the city center. To go down is actually okay but to come back home you have to climb stairs and hills, so be ready for it. We went during the summer and yes, we don't really do gym, but we are also not exactly unfit and often chose to just get a taxi instead of climbing all of that. We definitely recommend staying there.
