We stayed at Gabrielle's apartment for 2 days last month. Since our first contact by email, he was always so kind and helpful! When we arrived in Venice he was waiting for us at the vapporetto station (even though we were almost one hour late) and took us to the apartment (what is absolutely necessary in Venice, as it looks like a labyrinth at first sight!). The apartment is small, but has all you would need for a short stay. He made water and cookies available for us :-). The best part is its location: close enough to st Mark's square, restaurants, stores and interesting attractions, but away enough from the crowded streets (absolutely silent during the night). Thanks Gabrielle for the wonderful stay!
