Do believe the hype. Sne is a great host. Super clean and comfortable apartment in a great quirky neighborhood. But that is just the brick and mortar. If you want a host who is a sincere human being, Sne is your man. He was gracious and welcoming to the maximum. I was welcomed into good food and wine and great discourse with he and his equally great friends upon arrival. Sne is a citizen of the world and it was fun to be part of his community.
