Carlo was a great host and gives many tips. They answer any question you have. We had 4 adults and 4 children; the home fit us perfect. In walking distance of everything, but a quiet area for relaxing. There is a lot of stairs, but I knew this before we booked, so carrying backpacks and small luggage up is not a problem. I have no doubt that Carlo would have helped carry big luggage up too! Earlier check in than most airbnb, and after check out you can leave your bags downstairs until you are ready to leave Venice. I would highly recommend for bigger families!
