This is a nice location close to the beach in a nice town. A downside is the street is noisy from car traffic, but with noise cancelling headphones (my sony wh-1000xm4) that was not a bother. It is great to have a full kitchen and the eggs and walnuts were healthier food than most other hosts provide. I also think that during the week construction noise across the street might be an issue too. I was able to walk to Taormina and back (though some of the way was certainly relatively dangerous) and that was nice. It's a short walk to go swimming and there are good working beach showers if you look around for them. So if you want easy access to the beach staying here is probably better then Taormina! A grocery store is half a block away and a large produce place is a little further.
