Our experience in Venice was outstanding. Pietro was extremely communicative and mind, meeting us at the train station and walking us back to the apartment-- even being so kind as to help me with my bag. Once we got to the apartment, he explained to us his neighborhood and how to get around and which restaurants to eat at (delicious suggestions, we loved them all). He was by far the best host we dealt with on our trip. The apartment itself was beautiful, overlooking a nice garden-- and very near a good supermarket and nice bakeries. There were nice soaps and shampoos, and it felt like every detail was well thought out ahead of time. Pietro even made sure to email me the schedule of how to get to the airport and showed me how to get the boat there (so easy to get there from the apartment). I would absolutely stay here again. Thanks Pietro!
