We had an astonishingly good time in Simone's house.
Location: 10/10 (next to an amazing piazza with locals drinking aperol at lunch time. I'd recommend the church nearby for an astonishing rooftop mural) Everything in Venice is so close, but this location was slightly off the beaten path, near the station, but not too close, and generally 'quiet' away from the hubbub of the tourist zones.
Cleanliness: 10/10 (Perfection. Then, during a storm our bathroom window was smashed in extremely dramatic fashion, and the window was repaired, replaced and cleaned up after in less than 12 hours. I could not believe it)
Stylishness: 10/10
Check in: We checked in 4 hours early thanks to Martin, which was so appreciated as we had heavy bags. He made it a breeze.
Tips: Not only the best recommendations for Venice (local, non-tourist specific venues for breakfast lunch and dinner) but also the best recommendations I've ever had from a host.
I will be returning.
Soon.
