Roberto is a great host. He is very responsive and conscientious and met us right on time. He was very quick to answer any questions we had by email during our stay. And his apartment is fantastic. It is in a really good location - complete with a canal view! The walk from the station is less than ten minutes and the walk to the Rialto and St Marks is maybe 15-20 minutes. I loved the fact that although the apartment has been recently renovated, it has been done in a style that suits Venice. My family loved the fact that there was a bath with lots of hot water. And the apartment is really clean - spotless. There are fresh food markets right outside the door and on a couple of mornings, there was a seafood market around the corner. If we ever come back to Venice, we will stay her again. If you are looking for somewhere to stay in Venice, stop looking. You have found it.
