Richard was an absolutely amazing host and the apartment was everything we wanted and more-- clean and convenient, cute shops downstairs, farmers market a street down, easy walk to the city center, duomo, and canals, and lots of parking options nearby. we decided to stay another night, actually, and Richard made it possible in the same complex at a comparable rate. Besides giving great advice and insight for our trip, he also welcomed us each day to grab a few glasses of wine with him and his neighbors on the balcony under the warm sun, and invited us into his home for a home-cooked dinner the first night! Definitely my best airbnb experience so far!
