We were impressed by the kindness of our host, Massimo who went out of his way to be helpful. We were also very grateful to him for allowing us to arrive and depart very late and for filling the fridge with fresh food for us. Throughout our stay he was immediately available to provide helpful suggestions and directions for travel around Venice and for local shops and restaurants. The flat is very conveniently situated in the centre of Venice, with its own private entrance on a quiet narrow street. It was exceptionally clean and comfortable with an impeccably installed kitchen, complete with dishwasher. Massimo is the very best airbnb host of the many we have experienced, and we look forward to returning to his lovely Venice flat again one day.
