Nico’s apartment was very nicely furnished and relatively close to major attractions in Venice. Unfortunately, upon arriving at the apartment for check-in, I was asked to provide an additional €100 security deposit in cash or by credit card (outside of Airbnb) that had not been advertised on the Airbnb listing. I politely but firmly refused, stating that such a deposit had not been mentioned on the listing, and that all payments were to be handled through Airbnb per their terms of service. There were no other issues during my stay.
