I am the owner of an Airbnb listing and so I am always interested to experience how other properties are managed. I must say that Edoardo's apartment in Venice was practically perfect. Above all Salvatore, the man in charge of check in is efficient, helpful and extremely thoughtful. The location is excellent especially for those interested in attending exhibits at the Biennale and Arsenale. It is also very close to major water transport points: Arsenale and S Zaccaria. The apartment itself is very spacious and extremely efficient. AC, Hot Water, comfortable mattress, nice long bathtub in which to relax after exhausting but enjoyable history and art filled days. The walls are all newly done with luminous stucco Veneziana
Make sure to pay attention to the wonderful visitors guide and house instructions. They have been thoughtfully written and the advice for eating out is very reliable. It has become difficult to find good food in tourist cities and so advice should be heeded.
I really like my stay and will recommend it to those friends of mine who I think are well behaved and respectful of their hosts property.
One very little bit of advice to the host:
Most guests will not be interested in cooking their meals but I am a home cook and enjoy the experience of going to market and preparing picnics for my days outings. I would only suggest to the owner that they evaluate a bit better the pot and pan situation. I added a small pot to heat milk or boil an egg to his cupboard. Also I added a lid for the lidless medium sized pot that was without. There was a large lid to a large pasta sized pot that I could not find.
Many Thanks for these Airbnb experience I have had thus far.
