The family that welcome us was super friendly, kind of like old school. The lady hugged and kissed us and made us feel really comfortable. The house was very clean and they even brought us some cookies and plenty of fresh water. The shower, though it was small, had shower gel and shampoo and there were also coffee and plenty of utilities. It very close to restaurants and bars and also to the beach. Perfect location if you want to visit Taormina or Etna as is located in a residential area away from noises and tourists. We loved it!
