We never met Sara, but her father Giovanni met us on check-in and showed us how everything worked ... the flat looks exactly like the pictures, was very clean, and comfortable ... Sara however kept in touch with us constantly and was very helpful ... the apartment is in a quiet residential location about 10 minutes walk from the center, downhill to the center and uphill on the way back ... the private parking is perfect ... we saw many other holiday makers in this area struggling to find street parking in Taormina which we never had to do ...
