Carlo was organized, responsive to texts and emails, and showed genuine hospitality from start to finish. The apartment is in an ideal location, literally steps from restaurants and close to a mini market, and very close to a major stop for the vaporetto. An added bonus, it's away from the crowded touristy areas, but close enough for a short walk to San Marco Square. The apartment itself is large and functional, as well as beautifully decorated, with plenty of space for visitors' personal belongings.
