Nicolo was a great host. Check-in was smooth and uncomplicated as he provided clear instructions from the train station. He maintained responsiveness throughout the stay. The place is just as described and seen in the photos. It was very spacious for Venice (much better than the majority of the hotels), and it came with the needed amenities for traveling needs. The home was nice as it remained in a residential area (so quiet at night) while still situated within a few minutes walk of transportation, restaurants, and a grocery store. The area is very safe and the people in the neighborhood are very friendly.
