Mauro was very accommodating in receiving us earlier than the agreed timing of 1430hrs at 1300hrs instead due to our earlier arrival. His place was very easy to locate and his apartment was very nicely spruced up. We had a room with private access from the main stairway which also leads to the shared living/dinning area (where the other 2 rooms are located). wasn't aware that the rooms were all named after his granny which adds a unique flavour to the whole concept. Love the place, as it was a walking distance to the Firenze SMN train station which also leads to the central area.

The only pitfall was that the room walls and ceiling were pretty thin (not sound proofed), hence noises from other housemates can be heard, especially when they get inconsiderate in containing their noise at night for a good night rest. Also if the 2 other room's occupants are not aware that there are others around to share the living/dinning/kitchen area - it can be quite antagonizing.

It was unfortunate that during our stay, both the housemates were inconsiderate with noises as well as messing up the living/dinning area, which we had to lock ourselves in our own room. Also, the above unit's tenant were also moving furniture quite often during the evening/night time which had caused us to not able to rest well (with the noises created). Fortunately, we had a direct access to the stairways to enter and exit the apartment separately.
