While you explore Venice having your concept of a city redefined and your mind gently blown, you do need to have some downtime and a chance to let everything sink in. Jacopo and his sweet apartment is exactly this. A long-time actual Venetian, and seemingly not tired of talking to tourists, his was an excellent place to stay. Getting a room to yourself in this city in itself is an achievement, that it's in the house of a hard-working always friendly and helpful person like him is a real bonus. Jacopo brought in our washing when it rained while we were out, he shared food and tea and books and gave a lot of ideas and hints. Can't recommend him and his house enough.
