Wow! The place was extra clean! The location is great, about a 20 min walk from the bus terminal. It's not so bad but I would recommend that you ask Giovanni for a taxi from the bus terminus. It came very cheap and saved us all the time and hassle to carry our bags. The terrace was much bigger than I expected it to be and it was nice to sit in before going out.
The only trouble are the steps since it is three storeys high. And there is no lift available. Should you not mind going up the steps, then they are no problems at all. Go for this apartment, it's great!
Although we never did get to meet Giovanni, he kept in contact with us throughout our stay. Taormina is great, and so is this apartment! If I ever return back, this is the first place I would choose.
