The good: it's in a great location in Taormina. Right up the street from Bam Bar (which you must visit) and near a good grocery store. It's a good value especially in high season. The air conditioning works well. Good beach amenities like an umbrella, beach towels (if you ask), beach shoes.
The bad: we had to wait for the host at check-in even though he had our flight details and our driver called him as we left the airport. He failed to introduce himself or ask our names. He doesn't actually have the child amenities himself but borrows them from his sister. So he got the crib after we arrived (which my husband set up) but did not provide the high chair as listed. We didn't realize until after he had gone so just made do when feeding our daughter at the apartment. I get that the recycling is a hassle in Taormina but it's really silly to ask your short-term guests to remember when to bring out the plastic, glass, etc. I asked, for example, what we do if we have glass after the glass pick-up day and he just said to walk everything to the public garden. This was a stark contrast to our wonderful Airbnb host in Venice who took care of this for us. Also the couch was stained and so much so that we put a blanket down before sitting on it. The bed was one of the worst we've had. Quite hard. The apartment is fine for two people but know that there isn't "lounging" space for two people in the living room/kitchen area. It's quite small. I wouldn't recommend the apartment if you have a child with you. Spend the money and get something larger.
