Gabriele’s place was as advertised—recently redone, modern, and close to the action of San Marcos. He was very helpful as we prepared for our trip and his assistant Anna was waiting at the vaporetto stop to guide us to the apartment and answer our questions. Everything was clean and in great working order. We had everything we needed to be comfortable. We loved being near the academia bridge so we could easily get to the Dosoduro and “less touristy” part of town when we wanted a break. A Vivaldi concert in the nearby Chiesa was an amazing bonus. Would definitely stay here again.
