This trip to Florence was my first trip booked through Airbnb, so I can't compare it with nothing else. But I can surely say that Savino is a very nice person and a great host!
From the very first message here on this site he was always in contact giving all information I needed. My trip to Florence began with a 3-hours train delay in the night... All this time Savino was in contact with me in WhatsApp making the delay less annoying and awaiting arrival of the train because he gently proposed to meet me at the station (although he did not have to!) Late in the evening he brought me at home. My room was just renovated, full of posters with paintings of Kandinsky. Very spacious, comfortable, warm and quiet. As a lovely surprise I also found chocolates :)
A very special part of Savino's appartment is the kitchen wall, designed by himself. Marvellous!
All 4 days that I was staying at Savino's "B&B" ;) he cooked some tasty pasta for dinner and "italian breakfast" in the morning. Having dinner together was a great fun :) and it was also very helpful for me as I was studying italian and could communicate in such a friendly manner. Apart of having food+fun together he explained me how to arrive to the center of Florence by bus and by feet, gave me a map etc.
Thanks a lot, Savino, for all days I have spent in your house! I really felt myself like at my friends'.
P.S. The room is now much more beautiful than on the picture here.
