Patrick is a terrific host who is incredibly familiar with the area! He really went to great lengths to add some personal touches like a very detailed binder filled with info, tips, maps and more, but he also let us know that he was available at any time to answer questions. We really loved the two bikes he had available for us to borrow -- definitely a great way to check out Venice and surrounding areas. The room is cozy but as described, and more than enough space for two. The bathroom is connected to the front house so you do have to walk a few steps outside to get to it. It was a tad unusual for us at first but we quickly got used to it. We would definitely recommend his property to our friends, especially if they're looking for good value in a good location!
