We had the whole apartment to ourselves which was quite convenient. Even though there was a miscommunication about the meeting time, in the end we met. Giuliano helped us carry our luggage to the apartment from the meeting place.
To get to the meeting point you have to carry your luggage across the bridge which is one of the biggest across the Grand Canal. After that there is only one small bridge.
Giuliano gave us a lot of local tips and gave us a map, marking and explaining places to visit, local shops, cafes, restaurants etc. That was helpful.
Even though in the listing it says that the city tax is included in the price, the reality is that it is not. We had to pay extra 32EUR upon our arrival as a city tax. We were given a receipt for that. However, I don't think it's ok to give misleading information. I would appreciate if Airbnb could suggest what to do in cases like these when the description does not match the reality.
Other than that we had a lovely time in Venice. The apartment isn't quiet - you can hear sea gulls early in the morning and passers by conversing in loud voices. But I am sure it is a lot more quiet than in other busy parts of Venice. I used earplugs to get a proper sleep and covered my eyes as I like to sleep with an open window.
It does get pretty warm inside the apartment in the summer.
