Francesco and Nicola were perfect hosts, meeting us when we called them at the apartment, making us feel welcome and giving us advise on where to eat. They were charming and informative. The apartment is just as you see it in the photos, comfortable, spacious and perfect to come home to after a day of walking and sightseeing. Also the location is fantastic, away from the tourists, yet accessible by foot or vaporetto, which is Riva di Biasio. When you get off the vaporetto, you look for three streets that have the name Zen in them. And that is how the apartment is, zen-like. It is a place we would love to go back to.
