David was a fabulous host. He met us at the vaporetto stop coming from the airport and guided us to the apartment, showing us how everything worked and what the neighborhood offered. The apartment was well stocked – not only with food staples and small appliances, but with Donna Leon mysteries and Venice-themed movies. When we faced a problem getting to the airport for a 6:50am departure, David recommended a reliable water taxi and advised us about tipping. We had a pleasurable stay and would recommend this apartment and host without hesitation.
