So I have mixed feelings about this booking. We spent 3 nights in this wonderful villa. As the other reviews said...GREAT place. Clean, modern, wonderful neighborhood and right on a nice canal where you can watch the boats. The downside: In the beginning when I was booking Paolo was a great communicator. Not so much the days before we arrived nor the night of arrival. We were coming in late (10Pm 'ish) and it was posted on the ad there would be a 40e charge for this. However Paolo tried to change this to 80e after I made contact with him. When I pointed out his ad...he changed the ad! In the end I only paid him the 40 but that was not cool. Secondly I had to have airbnb contact him several times as he would not respond to me. This included the night of and at arrival. I have never been to Venice (Italy 5 times though and 17 countries in the last 5 years) and while he provided barebones directions they were not at all comprehensive (i.e. he said to take a 'n 1' boat. Ok but there is an 'N' and a '1' so was his 'n 1' a no. 1 or an 'N' or a 'N or 1'..he never responded so we didn't know. Nor did he respond to texts the night of asking for clarifications. In addition he changed the 'meet' 3 times. First he was going to come in person, second a taxi (without him present), third on our own..which is what we ended up doing. Bottom line if you have not been to Venice make sure you understand where and what boats you need to take. In person his sister was very nice. We were not impressed with Paolo.
