Absolutely incredible experience in Venice. Roberto was a dream to rent from. He was very helpful, answering all if our questions, teaching us about Venice, everything you'd want from a host. He met us at the Guglie bridge, incredible. We took the Lalaguna ferry, it was very easy! He then left us his contact info, and we didn't see him until checkout... We knew he was available for emergencies, his privacy was excellent and he wasn't overbearing like some hosts can be.
The apartment is AMAZING! You will not be disappointed if you choose to stay in this incredible location. Whether you are able to rent with Roberto or not, I recommend Cannaregio as an 'off the beaten track' experience. The centrality of this apartment is amazing, it's within 30 minutes slow walking of ANYWHERE in Venice.
Any questions about emmenities, etc. Just ask Roberto. We are from Canada, used to 4-5 star accommodations would rate this very highly.
