We traveled throughout Europe for three weeks, staying in a variety of Airbnbs before staying in Mario's place. His by far was the best. Mario was nice enough to pick us up at the bus station, since we brought luggage, and give us a mini tour of the town before dropping us off. Once at the apartment, he showed us a map and made a variety of recommendations of things to do during our stay... giving us a few local secrets. The unit itself was perfect as well - clean, full kitchen and laundry, perfectly located in the middle of Taormina (but quiet on a sidestreet). Highly recommend!
