Our stay with Massimo was not as expected. Firstly the house would be very tough to locate with merely his directions. To cover the distance with luggage on foot in <<15 minutes>>( as he suggests)is an impossible task.
The house was spacious but given the summer heat and that the air conditioning was functioning only in two of the 5 rooms thjs 9 of us were contained to the two rooms. The property is clean but very poorly maintained . The door knobs, beds and bathroom fittings were merely functioning and he was very particular that we use it with extreme care else it will be charged as damages.
However Venice made up for the stay. An extremely beautiful city to be in.
