Samuele is a fabulous host who was very responsive to any questions that I had. His apartment is located close to the train station, easy to find and close to any sites in town. There are 2 grocery stores extremely close by. One is 15 feet from the door and the second is just around the corner, maybe 60 feet away. The apartment was clean and well taken care of. He had a very detailed guidebook of restaurants and water taxis that was very useful. The pictures of the apartment are spot on. If you're going to visit Venice, then you definitely want to stay here.
