Pier is a wonderful host. This was my second time to stay in his apartment. It's a beautiful place, close to everything yet very quiet. I cooked most of the time and the kitchen is well equipped. Lots of markets nearby. There's a great yoga studio literally around the corner. Pier's directions are extremely helpful, and one should mind them: if you haven't been to Venice before, note that google maps, etc. can be impossible in some locations because of the buildings and tunnels and so forth. This apartment is a great find. I recommend!
