Paolo is a very welcoming host and his apartment was a great last-minute find. It is located at the top of a pretty steep street so I would recommend arriving by taxi or car (we carried our luggage all the way there from the bus station and it was tiring to walk uphill). However the location is convenient because it is close to the main street and Taormina’s key attractions. The apartment was clean and functional. Paolo was very nice and flexible about our check-in and check-out times (he even gave us a ride to the bus station), and he had good food recommendations. Highly recommend staying with him!
