Meet locals in Sant'Amato-NasutiLeave. Your safety comes first, and no Sofahop principle requires you to stay in a situation that feels wrong.

Yes. Many Sofahop members use the platform exactly this way — meeting for a coffee, a guided neighbourhood walk, or a day trip. You can mark your profile as open for meetups rather than hosting, and connect with locals who enjoy showing visitors around Italy.
Yes, always carry travel insurance when traveling internationally. Sofahop's community is trustworthy, but travel insurance covers the things that are nobody's fault: medical emergencies, flight cancellations, lost luggage. It's a separate issue from the accommodation platform.
Short stays (1-5 nights) are the norm, but longer stays are possible with the right host. Be upfront about your timeline from the beginning — hosts who are open to longer arrangements will say so in their profile or in the conversation. Never assume.
Not at all. Sofahop is used by travelers of all types — budget travelers, yes, but also professionals, remote workers, cultural tourists, retirees, and people who simply prefer the experience of staying with locals over staying in hotels. The platform is free; the demographics are broad.
Communicate with your host as early as possible. Life happens, and most Sofahop hosts are understanding about genuine last-minute changes — but they deserve the courtesy of early notice. Repeated cancellations show up in your profile and affect your reputation in the community.

All Sofahop members must be 18 or older. There are no upper age limits — the community welcomes hosts and travelers of all ages. Some of the best hosts on the platform are retired travelers who have both time and stories to share.
A small gift from your home country is a well-established tradition in hospitality exchange communities — nothing expensive, just something that says something about where you're from. Food, drink, or a small cultural item all work well. It's not required, but it's almost always appreciated.
