Nicola was a great host. He warmly welcomed us & was very thorough in introducing us to the apartment. The apartment is located very close to the ferry/boat shuttles, great little places to eat near the apartment that we were very grateful for after a long day of enjoying Venice. It was a very clean, open concept apartment & comfortable. Perfect for our family of 4. Pull out couch was a great multi-use product for sleeping & enjoying TV during the day!
