I stayed here July 2 - 5, 2017 with my adult son, and my adult nephew and his fiance. Can't say enough good things about Lorenzo, who manages the place for Paolo. His communications were lightning fast, friendly and accurate. He picked us up at the water taxi station and drove us and our luggage to the apartment, and also showed up at 7:45 a.m. the morning of our departure to take us back! Who does that? Thank you Lorenzo.
The apartment itself is spacious and well furnished. My nephew and his fiance had a large bedroom, I took the second bedroom and my son also had his own room due to the sitting room/study having a double pull out couch. So there was plenty of privacy. The air conditioners worked well, which was important in the hot Italian summer.
It's a one-block walk to the beach. The four bicycles that are included with the apartment proved to be invaluable, as we used them twice daily to get to the downtown area where the docks and most of the restaurants and nightlife are. It's a pleasant 1.5 mile ride, and the traffic is not bad. The drivers are accustomed to making way for bicycles. For those who are not so adventurous, there is a bus stop literally right outside the apartment gate and Lorenzo provides timetables of when the buses and water taxis run.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Lido, and were very happy with our accommodations. As mentioned, Lorenzo could not have been more helpful. It was my first experience ever with airbnb and if all hosts are like this, I'll be a lifelong customer.
