Gerry was a very caring host, she took care of all of our needs. Giancarlo was also helpful on the phone. The apartment is very very close to the beach and some good restaurants for fish and pizza, and also some bars. The apartment is recently refurbished and is very spacious. There is a kitchen for cooking. Just make sure you understand the noise of Italians beeping their horns while driving, as the apartment is situated above a busy street in Giardini. Take some ear plugs, I recommend. Very close to Interbus bus stops that go to Taormina and the local surrounding areas, also to and from Catania airport. Overall a great stay. Great addition to AirBnB
