Valentina is a great host. The apartment looks exactly as on the photos. We were traveling with 2 kids under 3y and Valentina has provided us with everything necessary (child feeding chair, baby cot, baby stroller etc.) We have enjoyed our stay there. The beach is very close and having the beautiful Taormina just 15 minutes away by bus was great!
The only remark is regarding the railway passing close to the building, but as I have understood it is a problem of the entire coast. But even that was positive in our case because kids enjoyed waiting for the trains to pass :-).
Overall great experience with very helpful host.
