The apartment in Taormina was really well located, and was a short walk from the main supermarket (about 5 minutes away on foot), which was around the corner from the beautiful main pedestrian street. The large public multi-storey car park was nearby also, and costs about €15 per 24 hour period.

The apartment was perfect for two, with bedroom, bathroom and kitchen/dining area. There were two little balconies overlooking the streets below, which were lovely for a bit of fresh air.

We didn't meet Lory, although she was always available on the end of the phone if contact was needed. Not meeting the host was not a problem for us, but I know some people who use airbnb do like this aspect. We were happy with freedom and independence, with the knowledge that Lory would have met us if required.

The apartment wasn't as well equipped as some other places we have stayed, and it could have done with a few more wine glasses and a corkscrew. This wasn't a big issue however, and is easily remedied.

Overall, the place is lovely, clean, modern and in a great location.
