Both the host and the apartment were incredibly wonderful! The host, was kind enough to pick me up from the Taormina train station and bring me to the apartment. He was very considerate and made sure I had everything I needed before leaving (communication in English was easy). The apartment was very clean, tidy and comfortable. Additionally, the view was breathtaking and the appartament was very close to the center of Taormina yet just outside of the main busy streets which allowed me rest quietly during the night. 100% recommend.
