This is a smoker's household and there is smoking in the house. Maria Celia was willing to smoke inside her room with the door closed and then outside, but for me this simply wasn't a solution. The house itself is very clean and Maria Celia is very particular with how things stay. The wifi was not continuous. The router was in Maria Celia's room and she would turn it off at night. She resolved this by buying a cord so the router could be outside her bedroom.
Maria Celia was very welcoming, but there were things that simply didn't work for me. When I was gone she came into my room so that she could water the flowers on the terrace outside my room, but she didn't ask me or tell me that she had done so. I found out because the wet towel in my room was moved to the bathroom. I value my privacy, so I asked her not to just come in when I wasn't home. She was willing to change this and simply asked for me to water the plants.
She is wiling to do your laundry and clean your room, neither of which were things I wanted, but some of you may enjoy this.
Maria Celia is very willing to help with Italian. She loaned me a book that was very helpful. She is very outgoing and likes to talk, so you will definitely be able to practice your Italian.
