We stayed for two nights. Massimo is a lovely host but the apartment was a big disappointment. It looks nothing like the photos, it is seriously under-equipped (especially in the kitchen - there was not even a chopping board or a sharp knife and only one pan - we asked Massimo for more kitchen equipment and he brought three more pans) and is very much lacking in home comforts. It could be beautiful but it needs a lot of work to bring it up to standard. There are bare electrical wires sticking out of the walls and ceiling. Only one wardrobe in the whole apartment and just two coathangers. Lots of the lighting did not work - in fact none of the lights worked in the dining area so we had to move the table into the kitchen so we could see to eat. The photos are very inaccurate (we took our own photos for comparison). The furniture in the photos is not in the flat which means people may be very disappointed when they arrive. Two of the beds were broken and had been badly repaired and the third bed had a dirty mattress. But worst of all for us is that the flat is not secure. You can gain easy access from outside the apartment front door into our apartment with no need for a key which is just not safe. We were shocked to discover this (we only discovered it on our last night or we would have left immediately). On the positive side, the location is fantastic, right in the heart of a slightly quieter, but a bit trendy, area of Venice. We loved the area.
