Stefano was a great host! He was friendly and provided some good info on local eateries and was helpful in letting us use his computer so that we could check in for our flight. We stayed in the attic room that had a private bath and rooftop terrace which was lovely. The A/C was nice and chilly. The apartment is on the 4th floor (no elevator) with the attic room one more set of stairs up. Breakfast was a nice touch consisting of croissant, yogurt, juice, toast, and tea/coffee. The reason I gave 4 out of 5 stars was due to that the carpet was stained and could use some updating and no shower soap provided (which had been at all the other airbnb places we had stayed at during our trip). The room has a lot of character and if you are of taller stature, watch your head on the exposed beams.
The location was very good; in between the Rialto Bridge and St Marks square. Stefano provided a map so we could navigate our way around. Overall we would recommend staying at Stafano's place.
