Gabriele was the epitome of hospitality. He met us at the train station in Venice and walked us to the apartment. After a tour of the apartment, he and his wife took us around the neighborhood. The apartment is in a great up and coming location. The restaurants nearby were fabulous. We walked just about everywhere and used the vaporetto a couple times which was conveniently located. Beds comfortable and bathroom modern. Bakery steps away with incredible bread!
