We spent a month in Pietro's apartment and fell in love with the place, it is very authentic and charming indeed. It is ideally located, walking distance from main attractions but far enough away from the hustle and bustle. The Fondamenta Nuove vaporetto stop is also on your doorstep, providing easy access from the airport and to other islands. The apartment is clean and furnished in a wonderful, homely manner, and all our needs were met. The kitchen is compact but extremely useful, there was no oven but this was perhaps a blessing during the hot summer. Note there is no AC which makes the apartment quite hot in August, but closing shutters during the day, using the provided fans, and letting in the occasional breeze from the Fondamenta was enough to bear the heat. We would recommend and love to visit again!
