Being hosted by Sussana was more of an experience than a normal boarding that for me brought out the innovation behind airbnb. I stayed at flat for two weeks and this flat was one of the few affordable places in my entire online search. Sussana waited for me on the first day and she and her friend Sonia welcomed me to lunch. I was attending an intense summer school and had an exam on the side but the flat was calm enough to study even with the florentine summer heat.
After my exams, Sussana invited us to a drive out of town to cool off and experience the outskirts. Her parents are very nice too. Her dad took out time, when he visited, to fix my leather sandal which really helped as I was more than happy to abandon my shoes for the rest of my stay.
I must say Sussana was also responsive as when we experienced difficulties with the Internet, she took time to sort it with the provider. This was great given the loads of study I had.
Finally, the flat is well located as it's close to most sites and also on the edge of the city with 15 minutes bus ride to the beautiful Fiesole hills from where you can have nice views of
Florence. There's a monastery up there too.
This was my first experience with airbnb and looking forward to getting back. I'd definitely recommend this flat.
