Davide gave us the info we needed to take the bus from the Marco Polo Airport, and his brother Luca met us at the bus stop.

Luca was really great, described Venice to us really well, gave us really good advice on places to eat (and not to), things to see, how to get around. He went over the map with us, marking out places we should visit, explaining why they were relevant. It was really very good.

The apartment was amazing. Very clean, very comfortable, great views, great location. We walked all over Venice from there, plus took the Vaporetto all over.

My wife was very, very happy staying there. I would definitely want to stay there again.

The only words of wisdom would be that, for us, three nights was far too short. Five nights would have been much better.

One place that stood out for me that is a short walk (6 or 7 minutes) away was the Bacaretto Da Lele. It's basically a little wine stand on a canal, very comfortable. Pretty much stopped in there every day. Very fun.
