Very responsive host, and Vera had some excellent suggestions for things do / places to eat. And the place has an incredible view. Traffic (what little there was) could be a little noisy, but only with all the windows open so sleeping was not an issue. We loved the hike up to Taormina each day, but it should be noted that the maps link on AirBnB can be a little off depending on the app you use. This place is actually very close to the train station, and a 20-30 minute walk to town. We were here in mid-March so there was nothing open near us, which was not a problem since we wanted to explore and walk.
