I really don't like to leave a poor review but I feel that the description of the stay misrepresented the accommodation and I wouldn't have booked it if I had known how poor the service and facilities would be. And the rating on Airbnb was 4.81 out of 5, which made me think it would be really good. So I feel that misrepresented it as well. I wouldn't give it more than 3 or 3.5 at the most.
I found it really hard to find it as the address on Airbnb is wrong. I had to message Livio for help snd only then was I sent a photo of the actual place I needed to go. There was no one to meet me, just a note asking me to ring for an explanation of how to check in. That was the only communication with Livio, I never received anything before I arrived and I never saw either host in during my stay.
The room was basic. I wanted to leave pretty much as soon as I arrived but had already paid for 3 nights. It was clean but a few things like the shutters to the outside were only half working, and I couldn't find a plug socket in the whole room which the hairdryer plug actually fitted. No cup or any extras except some soap and towels. And the bed creaked every time I moved. The bed also creaked every time I moved.
It is located in the courtyard so no privacy unless you keep
the shutters closed which makes it have no natural light. It sits between a train line and a very busy main road, so is noisy.
When I went to breakfast in the morning, no own was there and I was told by a lady that I had to book it with Livio. When I checked the listing on Airbnb I saw it read as a private room IN a bed and breakfast. So they were right, but from the photos I assumed it was included - my fault - but neither was I ever asked if I wished to book breakfast.
It is not expensive and is a bus ride away from Taormina, but I stayed the next night in a private room in Modica for the same price which was four star luxury by comparison.
If you are happy with all of these things then you will enjoy your stay, but I am sorry, I wouldn't recommend it, unless you can't find anywhere better for the price and are on a really tight budget. I really don't like to offend anyone and I know that a lot of this was me not reading the description better, but I wish I had seen a review like this before I booked so I was more aware of what I would be getting. If I had, then I would paid a few euros more and stayed somewhere else.
