I had a different experience with Saveria than most of the other reviews here. We used Airbnb for most of our accommodation needs, during our trip. All except Saveria`s place were good/smooth experiences.

I would start from the beginning: for the email/message chain we exchanged before my wife and I got to her place, Saveria would selectively reply to some and ignore others, including a question about how to get into her building. Getting into a building may seem trivial, but it could not be depending upon security and other features in the building, and its not consistent across countries. Its not always a bell that says your name on it.

For the checkin day, we planned to go to Pisa (just the tower) and an additional place earlier the same day. We were supposed to take the trains to each place. I had informed her about our plans, in advance. However, unfortunately we missed one of our trains, and some circumstances led to us running late. We did not had a phone during our trip, which also I had conveyed to her, so couldnt give her a heads-up. We got to her place at 10:30pm, instead of agreed upon 7:30pm. She went on a rant as soon as we arrived and wouldnt stop. I understand this would have caused discomfort for her, and we did apologize upon arrival. We tried to reason with her, but she wouldnt listen. It came to the point where my wife had to interrupt and say we were tired and if we could sleep, but she wouldnt stop even then. I understand it is not a hotel (like she put it), and we couldnt checkin whenever we like. But, likewise, unforeseen things can come up when you are backpacking in a foreign land. It helps if the host can be a little accommodating/understanding.

Additionally, if you think you can eat while staying at her place, well goodluck. She thinks that by un-checking the 'Kitchen' option in the amenities section, you are not allowed to eat at her place. Well, I would advice Saveria to read the details, just like she likes to preach. The 'Kitchen' amenity in Airbnb specifically says "Space where guests can COOK their own meals". It does not say anything about EATING the food the guests already have. Now, I understand she was concerned about her house/room getting dirty, and that is why she was being so fussy about not letting us eat. We only had dry indian roti/naan (no curry). Anyways, it got too much so we gave up and suggested we would go out and eat (it was now 11:30pm in the night, in a foreign place). It was then she let us use her dinning table to sit and eat.

Anyways, this was our experience with Saveria.
