We had a fantastic time in Venice. Patrick was there waiting for us and made sure we got in Ok. He has a huge pack with everything you need to know in it, including restaurant and bar recommendations. He was a great host and even called us to tell us when we parked illegally so we could move the car (in fact, stood in front of the car until we arrived so it didn't get towed! FYI non-Americans, don't park in front of fire hydrants!!).

The accommodation is beautiful and obviously lovingly built. It was more like staying in a hotel - big comfy bed and beautiful kitchen and bathroom. Bikes are provided which makes it super easy to get around (Venice beach is about a 20 minutes walk away or five minutes on the bike).

We'd stay here again for sure if we cam back and would recommend to anyone.
