Taormina is a beautiful city! The apartment was clean & tidy and it did have a very nice view. However we encountered several issues during our stay:
- the parking provided was considerably more expensive than other places we found. It would have been nice for the host to have told us the multiple options that we had and allowed us to make the final decision.
- the AirBnB posting also mentioned the place would have shampoo and it didn't even have soap to wash your hands after going to the bathroom (much less shampoo).
- the toilet was broken and it kept flushing constantly.
- the bathroom window was broken and it wouldn't close properly.
- no blankets were provided for the bed -- only a sheet.
- the hot water tank didn't work properly. This was mentioned in a prior review on AirBnB site, but it sounded as if the host had fixed the issue -- it clearly wasn't fixed. We contacted the host and instead of fixing it, he asked us to reset it ourselves (something renters shouldn't have to do considering we already paid). In addition, the following day, he did not respond to any of our messages anymore. We basically had no hot water during our stay and only managed to take a cold shower once during our 3 day visit.

As it stands, I would not recommend this host.
