The room we rented was perfect for a short stay, perfectly clean and with everything you need (private very clean bathroom and a common fully equipped kitchen and living-room). We liked the atmosphere that you could create with the lights in the room (reading lights, the table lamps, architectural lights), we were offered fruits and coffee every day and also an umbrella that was very useful at the beach. The location is close to the see and the bus that takes you to Taormina (walking distance ~5 minutes), but if you want to spend some time at the beach you should walk for 1,5 - 2 km (25 minutes) to get to a sandy beach. You have lots of restaurants with wonderful see view that you can choose from. I'd like to also mention that the landlord was very kind and he offered to wait for us at the train station when we arrived and the communication was easy.
