Pietro was a very attentive host. He answered all our queries very promptly. Rita, who checked us in explained everything thoroughly. The apartment was very comfortable with all the amenities needed for our 3-day stay. There was a lift that was essential since we had 3 senior citizens with us. But the most important thing for me personally was the location of the apartment. We love Dorsoduro! It has a very local feel with excellent food and bar options. We just walked to Campo Santa Margerita most of our meals. The San Toma vaporetto stop was a short walk away which made travelling on the Grand Canal easy. The San Pantalon taxi stop was just a few steps away which is where we were dropped off by our private water taxi. For those arriving via Piazzale Roma or Sta. Lucia, it is a very manageable distance to Pietro's lovely home. We have visited Venice 4 times but this is the best place we have stayed at. Thank you, Pietro (and Rita) for a memorable stay.
