Breathtaking view down to the sea from the apartment, its balcony and not least from the bedroom – I loved waking up and enjoying that view first thing in the morning, followed by breakfast in the sun outside. Check-in very flexible thanks to self-check-in, and host always accessible. I received detailed instructions on how to get there in advance, and recommendations on what best to do. Without those I would have missed some of the highlights of my stay! The spacious apartment is a real Airbnb, not an anonymous hotel room, with a personal note that makes it very special, like buddhas on the staircase leading to the house, or some of the host's books. :-) Walking distance from shops and old town of Taormina. A cable car connects the old town with the sea, although you can also walk down (and up) a scenic staircase if you wish. (This, too, I would have missed without the host’s recommendation.) Highly recommended for a stay in Taormina. Easily accessible from the airport (there is a direct bus to Taormina).
