Communicating with Cristiano was easy, his reaponses were very fast. Though we did not meet him, his parents were kind enough to meet us at the boat stop and lead us to the apartment. Location is very good...a short walk to st marco plaza. The air conds were super useful in the hot summer. Reataurants and supermarket are just downstairs. Will recommend Cristiano's apartment to Venice visitors. Was a comfortable place for 4
