This is the best host and the best place to stay in all of Italy. Massimo is the MVP of hosts and the best host you could ever have. He truly goes above and beyond to make your stay the best experience you’ve ever had and exceeds any expectations you have of Venice! He is extremely passionate about Venice and making sure people get to experience and appreciate it as much he he does. He was so accommodating to my needs and requests. I had an early train on the day of my check in and asked if I could drop my bags off and he was so kind and willing. He even let me leave my bags after checkout while I spent more time in Venice before I caught the late train. At check in he gave me a map of Venice with places Circle and marked for me to go and see and do. He even showed me the paths to take to avoid crowds and tourists. He was so adamit about me experiencing the real Venice. And he marked the water transportation stations that I should use to get to certain places and explained to me how it worked. He also knows everything about the city and ist of the people in it. He told me where to go to get authentic Venician food, gelato, glass, and carnival masks. He also checked in on me to see how I was doing and if I had any questions. And he made himself very available to contact to ask questions. He is also so upbeat, energetic, kind, and friendly! The apartment itself is also amazing. I can’t begin to describe how nice it was and the views from the windows. It made my stay that much more enjoyable. I am definitely coming back!
