We completely loved our stay at Salvatore's place!! And Salvatore was a wonderful host! He met us at the train station and guided us to the apartment. There he showed us around and explained all of the interesting new and old details of the apartment. He was also very accommodating of our poor Italian skills.
The apartment is in a great area of the city--close enough to the main attractions, but still a bit hidden in the winding alleys of Venice. There were also plenty of cafes and restaurants nearby, as well as a grocery store, to get what you need.
We were surprised by how large and spacious the apartment was. And the furnishings are very new and modern. It has a large, fully equipped kitchen/dining area, large bedrooms, and ample bathroom space.
I would completely recommend staying here!
