I give Farbod's place five stars because it is funky and fun, architecturally amazing and in a great location. It was clean, well equipped, the beds are super comfortable and the home has awesome features such as an entire living room wall that rotates up and out on hydraulic cylinders like a gigantic window. The kitchen is well equipped and full of high end appliances. Farbod was easy to work with and my daughter and I had a great visit in his place and enjoyed the neighborhood. I slept well in the downstairs room which opens onto its own private outdoor area. That room has a 3/4 bath open to the room so it is actually a bedroom/bathroom combination in one. That worked for me. A couple of notes that don't diminish my five stars: 1. I think $500 is steep for a cleaning fee. The place is mostly polished concrete and metal and while it has 2.5 baths, it isn't all that large and could be thoroughly cleaned, in my opinion, in less than three hours. 2. As another reviewer mentioned, this is an open floor plan house on three levels and there are few interior doors. The end result is that when one person is up in the house and moving about, everyone is up. In any case, I recommend this unique and modern home if you want to be in the heart of Venice. Thanks to Farbod!
