Our host was fantastic. We were warmly greeted and even gifted with a lovely bottle of Merlot wine! Our host provided us with a map upon entrance to the apartment and circled all points of interest and good places to eat. I honestly could not have asked for a better introduction to Venice. The apartment was incredible, it was conviniently located and stocked with everything we could need. For those catching a later flight they have an arrangement with a nearby hotel who will hold your luggage whilst you explore on your last day. I would highly recommend!
