I can only support the reviews below.
Claudio is an excellent host. He gave us a very clear tour of the facilities in the apartment and was helpful during our stay, with some good tips on places to eat and things to see.
The apartment is exactly as shown on the photos. It is well-situated for access to the main attractions in Taormina within minutes, but far enough away to be quiet at night. Stunning views of Etna from the balcony.
Thanks again to Claudio. I have no hesitation in recommending his wonderful apartment.
