We initially booked this place because we were very impressed with the raving reviews received by Massimo and his place. I am glad to say that these were totally justified and even exceeded our expectations. Massimo lives and works nearby so he is very accessible. His response rate and help is practically immediate. He has been helpful and accommodating from the start and throughout the 4 days of our stay, If there is such a thing as an "impeccable host" - friendly, helpful, responsive, and caring - Massimo is the one. As for the house, we stayed as a family of 4: 2 adults and 2 teenage kids. We were entirely comfortable in terms of space and amenities. The house has everything to stay comfortably (fully functional kitchen, microwave, dishwasher, washer, air-conditioning, good wi-fi, etc.) as if it were a home away from home. Added bonus: you will have a great canal view from your window. The location is great - just a short walk to Rialto and San Marco. In sum, if you are looking for a great airbnb stay in Venice this is the place for you. I cannot recommend it more and will definitely come back to repeat the experience.
