Mata's place was just what a friend and I needed after spending a week traveling around Italy and long hours in transit. Honestly it was a splurge for one night, but it was SO worth it. Mata's place is right off of the metro, and he was flexible when our bus was delayed. Mata lives in the apartment and provided us with clean towels, wifi and info about public transport and let us know that if we needed anything, we could just ask. I'm rather weary when it comes to staying with male hosts, and our stay Mata was very much a positive experience. Things like a hairdryer, wash clothes, and makeup remover pads become luxuries when you're traveling and I was happily surprised to see that he provided all of these things. Small touches like this really create a positive, welcoming and just-like-home atmosphere and I'm so glad that I chose to stay with Mata.
