Staying at Federico's place felt like being at a friend's -- a cool friend who is happy to see you enjoying the magic of Venice. He and his sister were always helpful and quickly responded to all our questions. Excellent recommendations on restaurants!! Room quite spacious with 2 chairs, closets, mini fridge, hot water pot. He even stocked the fridge w/large sparkling water bottle and yogurts and cookies. Fabulous location with lots of local residents taking their kids to school, stopping in local cafes for morning coffee - in short we felt like part of the life of Venicians rather than only tourists. An amazing experience!
