Our host Roberto was quick to respond to our booking, and helpful with advice. He met us off the airport boat as arranged, showed us round the apartment and gave us tips about local restaurants. He was also very accommodating about fitting in with our arrival and departure times. The apartment was clean, spacious and had all facilities as advertised, and everything we needed to make our stay pleasant. There are several excellent restaurants in the vicinity, and Rizzo's deli just down the street had most of our requirements for eating at home. The kitchen was well provided with everything to prepare meals, with essentials like salt, pepper, oil, coffee already there. The location is ideal for access to the Grand Canal and transport round the city. The only downside was some noise from the busy street, but that is unsurprising due to the central location and didn't really bother us. We spent a very enjoyable week there and would certainly recommend it.
