We couldn't have asked for a kinder and more thoughtful host than Ivan. The apartment also exceeded our expectations and we fell in love with the decor and layout of the flat. Rooms are nicely sized and the private back patio was lovely. The neighborhood is quiet compared to most of Venice and also a bit off the beaten path so it was nice to recharge there after trekking into packed tourist areas. It's also a short boat ride away from Lido if you decide you want to go to the beach - I couldn't recommend it more.
