Italy
The original sofa surfing communities changed travel for a generation. Sofahop is their successor β built by people who used those communities, mourned when they went commercial, and decided to build something that wouldn't make the same mistake. In Azzano Decimo, the hosts who joined Sofahop did so for the same reason.

That shared investment in the platform creates the conditions for stays that are, more often than not, genuinely remarkable.
