Mattia was a wonderful host. He met our family right at the water taxi stop and helped us with our luggage. We arrived earlier than the 3:00 check in so he allowed us to store our luggage in his office while we explored Venice. The apartment was absolutely beautiful....a wonderful mix of modern fixtures and antiques. It was extremely comfortable for our family of 4. There were two large bedrooms and two baths. The air conditioning worked very well and the apartment had everything that we needed. The location was excellent. We were able to walk everywhere. Mattia was very helpful...he directed us on how to get to Burano and suggested a restaurant for breakfast. He helped us with our luggage at checkout time and told us how to arrive at the train station. It was a pleasure to stay in Mattia's beautiful apartment. I highly recommend it and would definitely stay there again when visiting Venice.
