Nicolo is a good host. There were some miscommunication about what time we reach (from our side) but he was quick to adjust when he realized we had reached Venice already. The apartment is well kept, as he lives in it himself -- good wifi, tv with cable (we watched FIFA world cup in HD), working kitchen and a washing machine. It's a duplex with the living area on the lower level and sleeping/bathroom upstairs. The bed was perfect. We had a very comfortable stay.
