The house was built in 1917, host Nika and I shared ghost stories mine i think more credible. Carthage the dog is from portugal with a unusual personality..good deep bark..only when someone opens the front door.. This was my first Airbnb, Im looking to move to the Venice area and the reception I received from Nika was a good start to my new life in Venice. The second day outside in the front garden, noticed large avocados on their tree. On my departure day a avocado fell and rested on the ground, yes i received that avocado as a gift..This makes up for the 17 dollar avocado toast at a very good local restaurant named The Rose, next to Googles SC location, it was the presentation small plate great egg toast smashed avocado, nothing on the table, nothing on the plate, but very good.. Venice is another story, it changes significantly block to block.. Great couple, my introduction to the sharing community, great beginning...Stuart
