Salvo is a great host! He smokes, so if that bothers you, you might not like staying here, but you won't find a better host (he goes to great lengths so that the room you are renting does not smell smoky). Salvo is funny, friendly, and very helpful. He's an actor, highly educated in the earth sciences, a connoisseur of comics and an artist, and he knows good food!! He can give you great advice about Florence: where to eat, what to see, and what to do. I will gladly stay with Salvo again as I feel that I've made a new friend (not to mention that the location of his flat is superb).
