The great experience with Max and Ely started right when we booked the apartment on Airbnb, they always respond to messages in super speed. We have also discussed the possibility of being picked up and brought to the airport, which was not a problem at all. Fast forward a couple of months; We arrived at the airport where we were welcomed by Federico, Max' en Ely's son. We hopped in the car and they drove us to the apartment. Once arrived they handed us the keys and gave us a tour, it was an absolutely stunning and it was exactly as in the pictures in the listing. - More about the apartment down below -. They also told us what there is to do in Venice/Mestre and even provided us with a very useful apartment handbook, where you can find the route to the nearest tram station, their personal recommendations for restaurants in the area, as well as manuals for the electronic devices in the apartment (such as the washing machine and the microwave etc.). During our trip we also wanted to go to the concert of Interpol, which was about 30 minutes away in Sesta al Reghena. Max and Federico took their time to figure it out for us how to get there with public transport and even picked us up in the middle of the night from the concert back to the apartment. > THE APARTMENT Like I said, the apartment looks exactly as in the pictures. Everything was clean, we literally could not find anything dirty at all. The living room/area is spacious and well organized, only tip I could give them is to add a table in front of the sofa. The kitchen was very well-equipped with pretty much everything you need to cook (we didn't cook though). From a wide variety of cutlery to a big fridge, brand-new looking microwave to even a brand-new looking oven. There is one bedroom with two single beds and one master bedroom with a king size bed, both bedrooms have a very big closet. The mattresses are very comfortable, we like hard mattresses, so some may find them a little too hard. The pillows were decent and do their job, but they are not the most comfortable. I almost forgot to mention, all windows also have these automatic shutters, with just a push on the button you can make any room completely dark, very useful in bedrooms of course, but also when you just want to watch a movie on Netflix. The apartment also comes with two (almost identical) bathrooms, which feature a toilet, a shower, a nice big mirror and cabinets to store things. It's also worth mentioning that we felt very safe in this apartment, the apartment is equipped with camera monitoring a fence and a rather special door. This door locks automatically when you shut it. > CONCLUSION Our stay at Max' and Ely's place was simply outstanding, by far the best hosts and apartment we've...
