Let me put it this way… if you are desperate for accomodation in Taormina (which we were due to a lot of tourist) then stay at this place because the location is ideal.
However, if you have more time to plan your accomodation in Taormina, don’t stay here, it was terrible. The bed was so hard, my back feels like a surfboard and the pillow was basically non existent (i.e it’s that thin, it’s like sleeping with folded cardboard) For sleep, you may as well sleep on the pebbles from the beach it’s probably better.
Cleanliness was well below standard for any AirBnb I have stayed at, bits of hair and dust around the place, very disgusting.
If you have a few luggages, good luck getting them up two flights of narrow stairs, very difficult.
Bit of a bad smell around the place as well, I think this is due to the bins being pretty much just outside the door on the staircase.
Thin walls/windows so if it’s noise at night, forget it… you’ll hear everything. Oh and waste truck picks up bins nice and early in the street so you’ll most likely hear that between 6am- 7am.
Some pros, it’s a fantastic location, check in was very easy, and great cafes/restaurants nearby.
Overall, I give 1 (maybe 2) out of 10 due to location.
