Albert’s home was lovely. However, the experience was tainted by a very sour check in. I have wonderful reviews as a person who uses air bnb frequently. I communicate really well, and kept Albert looped in regarding my arrival time. When my friend and I got off of the ferry in Venice, Albert was standing there with a grimace. I walked past him initially because I thought he was trying to solicit me with something! Then he said my name, so I turned around. He scolded me for being very late and inconsiderate. First of all, I stayed in touch the entire day to let him know of my whereabouts. I was about ready to cancel the whole thing. Then he got over it and when we got to the apartment, he presented me with a lease agreement which is completely against air bnb terms. I’ve never had that happen. I amended it appropriately before signing. He was quite anal about the obvious amenities in his apartment and I honestly couldn’t wait for him to leave! Two days later he sent me an apology message for the check in. I did not reply. There are other places to stay in Venice more central to everything with more easy going hosts, I’m sure.
