We had a pleasant three night stay at Rocco's apartment. It was located in a great neighbourhood, in the area of the university, so it was vibrant and a little more 'local' if that's possible in Venice. Communications with both Rocco and Annabianca were very efficient. The apartment was small and quite comfortable. It's location on a small canal made it very appealing. We felt that things were just a little 'off the boil' and needed some attention. The door handle was falling off, furniture, upholstery and towels were very shabby. There was no kettle. The pillows were old and very uncomfortable. For the price we paid, we felt that things should have been somewhat better. Having said this, though, it did not detract from our stay in beautiful Venice.
