I stayed at Matteos place for two weeks during a language course. It depends what you are looking for; if you're looking for a very communicative host who will show you around and chat with you, maybe its not your place. But if you want a spacious, light room, an own, clean bathroom, a balcony, and want to do your own thing, this could be for you. I never really used the kitchen because I ate out everyday, I guess I could have but I didn't feel super super comfortable to use everything like in my own home. but i probably could have.
There were some short notice changes with my arrival time, matteo made it possible to come, however I needed to wait outside a little while.
We never really saw each other because we had such different schedules but in general the place was perfect for me. Great location just close to santa Croce, big room and private space. Thanks Matteo!!!
