Matilde was fantastico.
She greeted me on the day before her wedding!!! and helped me haul my big bag up all the stairs. I was at school for one month so my bag was not tiny. The location is really the best for Firenze. So many good Trattorias and Pizzerias and easy bus transit on Via Romana or Via Serragli or car parking at Piazzale Michelangelo (easy bus back) or the Porta Romana pay parking lot.
At the start I did have a problem with the internet - with no service for almost 24 hours but Matilde and her new husband came the day after their wedding!!! before they left on their honeymoon and completely fixed it so I had strong service with no problem the rest of the time. Thank you Matilde- you are the best! She also brought me an iron and an extra blanket which I had requested and left very detailed contact information for her friend if I needed help while she was away- what a sweet heart!
I slept on the pull out couch the whole time and it was so nice to sleep on the lower level and the bed was very comfortable. I hope she will move the big bed there permanently =) and put a small couch in the main room ;) because I will be continuing my studies next year and would definitely stay there again!
It was quiet and peaceful
Again grazie mille
