The apartment is great, very nice, very clean and we like the location. However, one thing that we were very uncomfortable with was that we were asked to send pictures of our passports and home address to an email outside of airbnb. We stayed in a total of 8 airbnbs this trip and no one asked us to email pictures of the passports, including other places in Italy. We were asked to do this nearly 2 weeks before our arrival and even though we were hesitant to send pictures of our passports, we did it as some Airbnb forums said it was necessary for hosts to collect passport info. As it turned out, everyone else collected the information at check in and there was no emailing of any personal information.
