Everything about this place was perfect. You really can't beat the location as it's near the vaparetto stop. We saw so many people struggling to carry luggage through Venice. And I cannot say enough good things about Raffaello. He made sure we made the most out of our trip in such a beautiful city. He gave us perfect directions to find the flat since we didn't have cell service. He even offered to arrange a pick up at the vaparetto stand if necessary. It's really close to St. Mark's square and good restaurants and shops, yet far enough away from the touristy areas. We would recommend and suggest Raffaello's place to anyone and it's the first place we will look when we make it back to Venice.
