Guilio was an amazing host for many reasons. He met us at the vaporetto station and walked us to his place. He gave us a thorough orientation in the apartment and in the neighbourhood so we wouldn't get lost. He gave us tips on where to eat, buy groceries and see local sights. And he gave us a bottle of wine to welcome us! His place is conviently located near the grounds of the Biennale (Giardini and Arsenale) which was the purpose of our visit and in a quiet neighbourhood which is refreshing in such a tourist town. His place was lovely - clean, spacious, had all the amenities, plus a nice terrace to sit out on and enjoy the sun. This is the best place I've stayed at in Venice and would definitely stay again. Thank you Guilio.
