We loved our week's stay at Gianfranco's apartment. Everything was exactly as described. Gianfranco was extremely helpful and even valiantly tried to improve a slow wifi connection which was intermittent at times. The apartment is a perfect base for exploring Taormina and the surrounding area. There are quite a lot of steps down to reach the main street but it only costs 10 euro in a taxi to get back up. Waking to a perfect view of Etna from the back door will be a lasting memory. Highly recommended.
