This was a fantastic place to stay! it was in a very quiet location about a 15 minute walk from the bus/train stations.
Although we never had the opportunity to meet Gilberto, he seemed like a very nice host and was in touch just a few weeks before our stay with the details to check-in - he even attached various attractions/eateries in Venice, including ones close to apartment.
The apartment itself was lovely - very clean, and it had all the things we needed for a few nights stay. It was warm and felt very safe, and we would definitely stay there again!
Thanks Gilberto!
