OK a little contentious here but I didn't love Taormina. I loved Ortigia and had four nights there and four nights in Taormina. I find Taormina more expensive and not as cosy but YMMV

This was my airbnb - location for getting anywhere was great BUT the traffic noise is loud which doesn't bother me. There is also a burger bar about 10 m away and the young kids sit outside and chat. Again that didn't bother me but it might some.
The Airbnb was good in that they left a few supplies like oil, salt and it had glad wrap and alfoil etc.
