Massimo is a busy guy. He arrived slightly late on his boat and took us to his flat (for 60 euros) the boat trip took 20 mins and in fairness was a beautiful introduction to a first time visitor to Venice. It was only when we returned to the train station by foot on our departure that we discovered it was a 5 minute walk so the 60 euro charge like a slight scam - especially when on other Airbnb experiences the host offered orientation and transporting to the accommodation for free. Massimo was also slightly anxious to take his girlfriend to lunch when we arrived at the flat and although very pleasant/ charming understandably wasn't for hanging around
The flat was large airy and was in a fantastic location. There was everything we needed. However it felt more like a hostel than a flat and the pictures on Airbnb have been slightly airbrushed as the reality is now slightly more tired.
Despite the above I would recommend this place for a budget traveller... Wonderful location and it met our needs and all added to the experience . And Massimo don't worry it won't
Sabotage the wedding :-)
