Francesco was a lovely and accommodating host. The apartment is spotless, modern and central to Taormina. Francesco was very responsive, provided us whatever we needed and gave us tips for restaurants as shopping in the area. There are other units that are rented by Francesco in the building, and the ceilings are a bit thin so you could hear noise in the morning from the apartment above which made it a little hard to sleep in. There are around three flights of stairs down to get to the apartment and its on a steep hill, so be aware of that if you're driving up. Also google maps messed up directions for us, so make sure you have directions for the right destination. Although parking is included in the rental, we had issues parking because according to Francesco there was a storm and tourist parking permits were not being honored, so he asked us to park at a public garage a bit out of the way which he paid for and gave us a ride to. He was very nice, but it was a bit of an inconvenience to have to deal with for two days. I'm assuming this is not a common occurrence though. All in all recommended for a nice stay in Taormina!
