Valentino couldn't have been more helpful - he was really proactive and informative. Having stayed in dozens of Airbnb properties, Valentino is definitely the most helpful host I've dealt with!
The apartment was lovely - spotlessly clean and really well equipped for 3 of us to stay in. I was't sure whether staying in Giudecca would be a bit inconvenient, but in fact it was wonderful - easy to get back and forth on the vaporetto, and with lovely cafes and restaurants on the island, and away from the tourist crush of the centre of Venice.
If I ever return to Venice, I will definitely re-book Valentino's apartment again.
