Savino made us feel very welcome. He is clearly accustomed to welcoming tons of travelers and has a lot of experience, not only with guests, but also with his own worldly travels.
We got to meet Savino's friends, real authentic Florentines, not tourist trap staff members trying to sell you something. A nice break from the sometimes-overwhelming hubbub of central Florence.
The bed is comfy, sheets were clean, windows let in lots of nice natural light, and the room is actually quite spacious for just one or two guests!
Savino put out breakfast food for us every day which was so thoughtful and really, if you think about it, this could save a lot of money if you are staying for a while and eat breakfast with him every day!
Another great advantage to this location is that even though it's not downtown, it's next door to a bus stop that takes you to and from anywhere in the city center — easy and inexpensive. You can buy bus tickets in the convenience store (corner store) next to the house.
