I stayed in this apartment for over a month this past July. From the start, the hosts were amazing! Because I had some heavy luggage with me, they offered to pick me up at the bus station - which in reality they did not have to at all. So thank you!!! Upon arriving at the apartment, which is nestled away in a non-touristic side of Taormina, they greeted me with some fresh fruit and a bottle of Prosseco! The apartment is exactly as the pictures show! The neighbourhood is very quiet and I always felt safe. It is about 800meters (10 min) walk to the center of Taormina. So you can still take the chaos of the city but retreat to quietness, which i loved. There is a market nearby for amenities, about 5 min walking distance, so you don't have to go far for groceries. I had no problems once so ever and the hosts left me their numbers in case I needed anything. We chatted a couple of times (via SMS) during my stay, making sure everything was okay and it sure was. I highly highly recommend this apartment! thank you for everything, I hope to return one day :)
