Savino is a great host who is passionate about what he is doing! Staying with him felt like staying with a family member who actually cared! He is honest, smart, simple, straightforward and funny! I am so glad that I choose to stay with him bc many years down the line I will remember my trip to Florence for this great stay! The room is neat and clean and is nicely decorated! It reflects his taste and passion of travelling and hosting people from all around the world . The neighbourhood is quiet and nice and just a 15 to 20 min walk to city center. Savino gave me great recommendations and trust me .. if you follow his advice you will not be disappointed at all! I was lucky not just to have shared the apartment with him but also to have tasted the awesome penne pasta that he made for dinner one of the nights! Savino is real! He is so honest as a person and his kindness just took my heart away!! Yes people like him do exist! Savino is a kind of host who will make your airbnb experience worth every money! These are the kind of guys that define what ideally airbnb should be all about. Stay here only if you want to stay like a family! Shed your inhibitions and let some one in for few days :) :) Please see : The best pizza pasta place in Florence is right at St Jacopino piazza which is a 2 min walk from the apartment . Went here on Sav's recommendation and I am missing this place already now that I am back home!! Whenever I plan my next trip to Florence it has to be with Savino only! Think I have a friend in him now :)
