Carlo met us at the tram stop the night we arrived and escorted us back to his house, which was about 100 metres from the tram stop. There was a great supermarket 2 tram stops away which was extremely convenient. We were basically given keys to the house and made to feel as if we were at home. We had full use of the kitchen at our disposal and 2 shelves in the fridge. The house had 2 bathrooms and great wi-fi. There was also a lovely little garden to sit in with chairs. The tram stop ran directly into Venice and stopped near a lot of vaporettos to get around Venice easily. Carlo has a lovely sweet personality with a great sense of humour and spoke English proficiently enough for us to have a conversation with him and for him to give us tips about Venice. He also has a lovely kitty cat. The house was spotless and at all times. We would welcome him into our home if he ever travelled to South Africa.
