Cristian organised his friend Nicolò to greet us at the Vapporeto Station who helped us with our bags to the apartment and recommended some local eateries and sights to check out. He then showed us around the apartment which is perfect. Cristian came later on in the evening to meet us and invited us for a ride on his boat which was the highlight of the evening... or even the whole trip, he also recommended some great restaurants. Cristian was always just a message away for anything we needed or any advice we required.

The apartment itself is in a great location, far enough away from the madness of the tourist crowds to be nice and quiet, close enough that a short walk and you have some great site seeing and eateries. As we where there to see the Biennale it was perfect as it was a short walk to Arsenale and Giardini. The apartment itself is well appointed with everything you could require for a short or long term stay and comfortably accommodated our family of four. Its also very clean and the view out the bedroom & kitchen windows are picture perfect.

If we're ever lucky enough to visit Venice again we'll definitely stay with Cristian and would recommend his apartment it to others.
