Josh is an excellent host and I had a great stay at his cottage. Josh was very clear in his communication and I would have had no issues with his instructions if he hadn't been arriving home at the same time I showed up. We met briefly and he was very welcoming and accommodating. The cottage is exactly as described: very clean, comfortable and located in a great area of Venice. The furnishings are very nice and the cottage was perfectly quiet. Would definitely stay again.
