We (two adults, two seniors) had a very pleasant stay at Federico's apartment and can recommend it to anyone visiting Venice.

The apartment:
It's an old apartment with beautiful wood beam ceilings and an "authentic" feel, but offers all the modern comforts. The kitchen is well-equipped with most everything you need to make a good meal. The bedrooms are roomy with plenty of storage space, comfortable beds. Although the apartment is located directly on one of the canals, it's very quiet. We occasionally heard a motorboat passing, but it never disturbed us - even at night. We enjoyed our time here.

The location:
The apartment is located in a lovely, more residential district of Venice and offers a more authentic atmosphere, away from the main tourist areas, yet only a few minutes walk from Santa Lucia rail station. A well-stocked grocery store, bakeries, excellent restaurants and cafés are all within a few minutes walk.

The host:
Federico met us at the main station and even helped carry my parents' luggage to the apartment! He is very friendly and immediately made us feel welcome in Venice and in his apartment. He made sure we had everything we needed for a pleasant stay and responded quickly to all our questions and requests. Upon arrival at the apartment, Federico provided us with a brand new map of Venice and described the different neighborhoods, giving us an excellent overview of the city. He even marked some recommended bars, restaurants and attractions to make sure our time in Venice was authentic and enjoyable. We followed his tips and we weren't disappointed!

Thanks for everything, Federico! We hope to return to Venice again soon!
