Patrick is a great host. Communication with him is prompt, apartment is as advertised and photographed. Note that the kitchen is small but has what you need to make a nice meal. The beds very comfortable, for a small apartment the layout is good and it has a roomy feel. The terrace is wonderful with a view of Venice rooftops and a portion of S. Marco square. The ringing bells are lovely to hear and add to the Venice ambience. We would recommend Patrick's place to everyone....but note like many places in Venice there is no elevator, if you want the view, you have to climb a lot of stairs! But trust us, it is worth the effort.
