For us the trip to Taormina and to Mike's house wasn't what we expected at all. The house was beautiful and had a good view and it was very nice to meet Sylvia, the concierge of Mike. Only there were a lot of disappointments. First of all you really have to pay attention to the fact that you are clearly corresponding about the number of persons you are staying in the apartment. When we arrived we where faced with an extra charge of 450 euro (for 3 persons). The total price of 1450 for 5 nights wasn't worth it because there was a lot of mold and dust in the rooms and not everything was functioning very well (toilets etc).
The biggest surprise came when we were back at home. Mike sent us a note for damage that we should have made of 300 euro and when we reject to pay (because we didn't caused the damage) in a couple of days we've got a note of 825 euro for damage after he checked the apartment in detail. So watch out for this fraud.
