Perfect, just perfect!
The apartment is just like the pictures, lovely and bright and spotlessly clean. The welcome bottle of wine was a very nice touch and the bottle of water in the fridge was a wonderful thing, as it takes away the pressure to find a shop immediately. The location is as central as can be, right on the main shopping street in Taormina, so basically no traffic noise. Anita is lovely, very helpful and full of useful information and her tips were spot-on. The apartment has all you might want and then some more, couldn't really ask for anything else. Anita's guestbook is a very good idea, as a lot of the previous guests wrote down tips for restaurants and outings and that was really helpful and in a lot of senses much better than only relying on Tripadvisor reviews, as these were definitely "real" reviews and we found our favorite restaurant this way, a place that was not on my Tripadvisor short-list to start with. I was a bit apprehensive about Taormina to start with, but the place is very friendly, well kept and clean and feels very comfortable and save and you can easily find quiet spots away from the hustle and bustle of the day trippers. We loved the apartment and if we ever come back to Taormina (which we might) we will try to stay at Anita's place again, as I could't imagine anything better. Thank you Anita!
