The Lisboa Experience. Staying at Richard's was great. It was easily the highlight of our Venice stay after the Duomo and our trip to Lake Cuomo.

The Lisboa experience has been extensively documented by other reviewers and confirmed during my stay. So I will be brief:

The Host: Great guy (has great friends too, if you're lucky enough to meet them).

The Greeting: Richard greeted us at the entrance and helped us with a dishonest taxi driver.

The Apartment: True to the pictures. Has a generous supply of hot water. (Something not all apartments have.) Ample space in the room for me and my girlfriend.

The Neighborhood: Lots of stores nearby, including a supermarket, bakery, clothing stores, discount stores, cafes, etc. All the perks that come with living along a major strip.

At night, the Cafes and shops around the canals light up! Very nice place to eat and chill.

Nearby Transportation: The train (metro) is a short walk away. I believe there's a bus close by as well. Quick ride from the central train station.

The Stay: Richard let us have our space.

The Checkout Process: Uncomplicated. Richard gave us invaluable tips to help save money on the taxi ride.

Overall: Don't hesitate - just send him a message to book the apartment.
