Massimo is a kind, genuine host. His apartment was unique, spacious and in a great location.
Guests should just watch out for hidden costs with this booking. Cleaning fee and service charge are listed so we were clear about that. However, we had to pay an additional €27 cash when we arrived (for city tax and being picked up by Massimo upon arrival). This was a very reasonable price of course, but it is misleading for travellers on a budget when there is no mention of these costs in advance.
We pre arranged a boat tour for €50 and a parking space for €20. Both of these were good value and the boat trip was a lot of fun.
In the bedroom with 2 single beds, it can be pretty noisy if the apartment next door is occupied. Bring earplugs!
Overall, I can recommend this apartment. We had a great time there.
