The location can't be beat, close to everything and still a bit off the center of the action so you can actually sleep at night (albeit the occasional drunk tourists who pass by in the middle of the night singing or speaking very loud). The house does have a lot of stairs. 4 floors in total with each bedroom on a different floor and the kitchen with outdoor terrace is on the top floor. But many multi-bedroom apartments are like that in Taormina so if you are in shape and have good knees this should not be an issue. We actually liked each having a seperate floor to retreat to and then spend our meals and social time in the kitchen and the fantastic outdoor space. Everything in the apartment was just as photographed and described, listing is accurate. Host was very nice, explained parking and getting from parking to the apartment in great detail. He met us a check-in and check out which was nice. And he had some water and fruit for us on arrival, which was a very nice touch. Kitchen is well equipped, main bathroom is fine, the other 1 1/2 bathrooms in the bottom bedrooms are fine but very small so not ideal for everyone, The bedrooms are quite large, beds are comfortable with good bedding and lots of extra linens. There are two sets of glass windows and shutters so it helps cut down outside noise. Everything in the apartment was in good working order and we were very happy with out stay.
