Ausilia's place is right over the main thoroughfare. It's great if you love to look out the window and see the hustle and bustle of people wandering among Taormina's many shops. If you're a quiet sleeper like my partner is, I'd recommend somewhere a few blocks away.
Other than that, Ausilia is a great host. She made a breakfast in the morning with coffee and pastries. I only wish that I spoke Italian so that we could have a conversation.
