The home is comfortable for two couples and is located outside the city in a peaceful setting. It is quiet and a good respite from the bustle of the nearby cities. Maria is very kind and helpful despite my poor Italian. Once we arrived on her street she came out to flag us to the correct house. There is parking at the house. The house has a stove-top coffee kettle, tea kettle, and a gas stove. We stayed one night after exploring Taormina vicinity then left early to drive to Mt. Etna the next morning. It is ~12 minutes from Taormina center and 1 hour from Funivia dell'Etna.
