Great spot to explore Taormina, Naxos, Etna etc. Can't beat the price, exactly what we wanted as most of time we were away, quick connection to local roads, safe street parking, few cafes and shops around, beach and town centre not so far away, everything you need to explore, it's not luxurious, but if you want to save money on accomodation and spend more for real experience like Etna Excursions, Boats etc. (Which can be quite expensive if you want to do it right) This is what you want. Air con works very efficient in the living room, area looks quite rough, but don't be put away, it's safe and people are friendly. ;)
