Silverio and Antonella's Airbnb has set a new standard for us. The apartment was lovely and utilitarian. So many thoughtful touches that a traveler can't always count on: ground coffee, espresso maker, comfortable bed, super clean, beautiful design.
But the most important to us--and this is something we've realized over time--is the connection we made with Silverio, and his welcoming efforts. We had a long chat our first night and touched on so many commonalities at this point in world culture. He was available at every turn. [Antonella was endearing, too, but we didn't talk so much because we don't speak Italian.]
They are the kind of people you would hope to have as next-door neighbors!
Brilliant space, Silverio, we'll miss you. Grazie molto!!
