We had a lovely time in Anita's apartment in Taormina. Both she and Antonio are so helpful - they genuinely care about you enjoying your stay.
The apartment is in a great location - right in the centre of everything which suited us perfectly as we travelled with our 14 month old - so while she slept, we could enjoy a wine and some people watching on the corso umberto below. We also utilised the beach umbrella Anita has left int the apartment quite a lot - which made trips down to isola bella a lot easier and helped us avoid paying hefty fees for a sun bed/umbrella which we'd never be sure how much we'd utilise with an unpredictable toddler!
It can be a little noisy at times (we were there in absolute peak season) but the bedroom is set back off the street and being in such a central location is definitely worth it!
We'd also recommend Vecchia Taormina for pizza and we had great food and wine at Osteria Rosso di Vino. The coffee granitas with cream & super-fresh brioche were great at Bam bar, and the bar just across from the apartment made coffee the closest we found to what we're used to in Sydney...

We had a lovely time in Taormina and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Anita and Antonio's apartment, they are great hosts and made our first 'airbnb experience' a complete success - thanks :-)
