Julian is a great host, friendly but you can expect your own privacy. The house is clean, he provided loads of shelf space in the kitchen and fridge, the private bathroom is perfect, laundry on site is very helpful (carry your own detergent).
The house is in the heart of Venice, which is ideal. Just a tip to guests- the area is beautiful and close to so many things- but Venice isn't safe to walk alone at night- just a heads up to those who might not know it.
