Pietro was an excellent host, just as so many reviewers have stated before. He met us outside the apartment upon arrival and sat with us for 30 minutes going over the details of the apartment and giving excellent recommendations of places to eat during our stay. The apartment is newly remodeled and Pietro has clearly been working very hard to restore some of the historic aspects (the wood beam ceiling) and to make it even more comfortable for guests. It easily accommodated our family of four - our two little boys happily shared the pull-out couch downstairs. The kitchen is very functional with a nice range, and there is also a clothes washer available.
Whenever we return to Venice, we will definitely contact Pietro to stay again!
