Jacopo was waiting for us when we arrived -- even though we were about an hour late. He had been very prompt in responding to our queries about arranging arrival times and directions. The instructions and maps were clear, but once we arrived, we didn't know which apt he lived in (there were multiple doorbells to ring). Someone at the cafe next door saw our quandary and directed us to the right doorbell. Ask Jacopo for instructions about that detail. The apt. is one flight of stairs up to the 1st floor (2nd floor according to USA tradition). Jacopo and his companion live in the apartment. Both were very welcoming. The room and ensuite bathroom are very clean and comfortable and access is near the entry through a nice kitchen -- we seldom crossed paths with Jacopo during our stay -- though he was available and helpful when needed. The location is good -- near the University and not far from vaporetto stops.... we walked to St Mark's and elsewhere a number of times (about 20 min). It's away from the tourist dominated areas around St. Mark's and gives a much better sense of what it's like to live in Venice as a resident. Many good cafes, restaurants and shops.... We made coffee and prepared light breakfasts in the kitchen. I recommend the apt -- Jacopo is a good and friendly host. I would not hesitate to stay there again.
