Taormina is a very beautiful town, no problem for english communication but full with tourist(especially in center) even in September.
If you are searching a simple shared flat far from crowds for a short stay, this is definitely recommended!!
— Details belows:
We arrived after a exhausted hiking on Etna, was welcomed by Carlotta's mother with glass of wine and snack bread! Carlotta's mother was a very warm woman who speaks well English and showed us all the information and beautiful spots around flat and Taormina.
About the flat, it's on the mountain a very safe area. We arrived by car so location wasn't so big trouble (suggested small car). Center is a foot walking distance by stairs on the mountain side down around 10 mins. If you got more energy, stairs up leads to another beautiful spots.
About the room, we stayed one night, a small room equipped basic stuff for a nice sleep. A screen window door to the common terrace provides very cool air in summer night.
About the shared bath room including toilet . Its in one room but we are the only residence at the time, so wasnt so rush. Water was strong even though it is on the mountain, everything works very fine.
Thank you for your welcome and host!
