This is a great place to stay ...and of course Taormina is a gem. The apartment is spacious, modern interior, we'll equipped and the host and family are wonderful. It is located very close to the center, only a bit of a walk uphill...which I at age 74 managed easily even with a bad ankle. It is quiet, has Netflix which in January, after dark was a nice feature....and it is secure with free PARKING. We are frequent travelers of many countries and from our experience we recommend it highly from any aspect a tourist would desire. We only wish that some time in the future we would be able to visit again...and the host family speaks English....perfectly.
