Filippo's apartment is gorgeous! Very modern, spacious, clean and comfortable. Lido is a great place to stay to explore all of Venice.. The ferrys run regularly, late into the night and it has a huge sandy beach if you get too hot, you can go for a swim. We would stay on Lido if we returned to Venice for sure.
Filippo is a really nice guy, we had some good chats when he wasn't in work. He gave us maps and info and was happy to help with anything.. All in we would definitely recommend this place! Thanks Filippo!
