Gabriele was an excellent host! He went out of his way - meeting us at the Vaporetto so we would not get lost and having champagne and chocolate waiting for us at the apartment. The apartment is a great place, exactly like the in the pictures. It is small but very well designed so two of us were totally comfortable there. It was very clean and well maintained. The location was great! Very close to San Marco but on a side street so it was quiet for sleeping. A perfect location to explore Venice. Thank you Gabriele!
