Massimo is one of the best - if not, THE best - hosts you would only come across once in every few Airbnb spots you decide to stay. He goes out of his way to make you feel at home even when you're thousands of miles away from home. Living in his house is a little bit more special as there is Venitian history surrounding it (tip: the floors are almost a century old), and it's the place where our host grew up.
I found the location of his apartment surprisingly close to the train station than I expected, which was convenient enough as you don't want to get lost in the maze of Venice. The three flights of stairs to reach his apartment is not ideal for guests with large and heavy luggage, hence carry only light and comfortable bags if you want to make your life easier.
Overall, I am delighted with the stay at Massimo's home. I will, without a doubt, love to stay at Massimo's house if I ever visit Venice, again!
