I stay for 10 days during the New Year. Riccardo was a nice host and very responsive to my messages. He even sent someone to the dock to pick me up and walk me to the apartment and give me directions on some of the important landmarks. The room was clean and overall faily quiet during the night time except new year eve but that was expected. My only negative feedback was that the apartment looks similar but not the same as the photos that were advertised. The night stands were just chairs, the sofa was older, there was supposely be another room but it was sealed off for some reason. There are also holes in the walls in a few places. Overall that didn't really affect my stay there, it just wasn't accurate as the pictures from Airbnb. I like the location of the apartment, it is a short distant walk to both Ponte dell'Accademia and St Mark's Square. I have a pretty good time staying in Venice.
