I really appreciated Silvano's hospitality. He was explicit with his instructions about meeting me at the train station nearest his Airbnb apartment. Somehow he knew who I was when he saw me on the train coming from the airport, and then he introduced himself, and immediately made me feel welcomed. What was particularly helpful was that he warned me of possible traffic noise in my room, so I was prepared with my earplugs! My room was spacious, as advertised, and I slept well in his warm and cozy accommodations.
