Eugenio's place was incredible, kind of like a hotel but better. By that I mean that the unit is separate from where he lives, with its own locking entrance, having everything you need, and is clean and orderly and everything works. However, that doesn't mean it's impersonal. Eugenio gave me a printout with tips on where to eat (definitely worth following), a map, and a travel guide (though I already had my own plans laid out). He was friendly and helpful, and flexible with check in/check out.
He was always instantly reachable over AirBnB, but also gave me his phone number.
Before I arrived he also sent me directions on how to get to his place, and it is indeed very simple to get there from the train station — you won't get lost in the sometimes labyrinthine alleys trying to find it.
The room had tea, coffee, and an electric kettle, and although I didn't have much time for reading there was a bookshelf stocked with books that related to Venice (some in Italian, some in English, and some in Japanese).
I can't recommend this place or host enough.
