WOW! What a FANTASTIC Airbnb experience ! As a host and frequent traveller i speak from some experience...
From the outset Massimo's frank and concise communication was clear and refreshing - he guided my wife and i using 'whats app' with some true precision - as we were arriving from different locations at different times. Massimo informed us it was 'carnevale' week because we didn't even know! What a great surprise!
The flat was perfect. Recently refurbished it was the perfect fusion of old/traditional and modern/convenient. Some thought has gone into it, for sure.
The flat manages to blend chic and historical with an unfussy minimalism- and yet it is warm and inviting. It was cold outside when we arrived but the flat is toasty! I loved the fittings and simplicity - really, a model Airbnb. I enjoyed jumping into the book he left - 'Watermark' whilst having a shot of Vodka (graciously supplied). He also left us coffee, gorgeous marmalade...bread, milk, beers, eggs! Juice ! My wife was very impressed !
Thanks to Massimo our stay in Venice was smooth and enjoyable, as it an expensive city - but we got the inside track. Location is great - close to 2 water bus stops and not far to all the tourist areas like the Square.
I chose the flat because it looked great and i liked Massimo's communication. I was a little cautious as he doesn't have many reviews...yet. I trusted my intuition and got a fantastic deal. Get in now before other people do; as the standard is very high! Once the glowing reviews begin to pile up I'm sure it won't be so easy ! Thanks Massimo!
