Umberto is an excellent host who is really enthusiastic about the city. He answered my messages immediately, picked me up from the ferry station and guided me across the Venetian maze to the cute courtyard where the apartment was. He also showed me a map with all his personal recommendations that made me explore Venice like a local, it was suuuuper helpful! The apartment is cosy and quiet, equipped with all the necessary things, and located in a wonderful residential neighbourhood away from the tourist masses, but still really close to the main points (ferry station, St Mark's square, Accademia bridge are literally a few minutes away). Highly recommended!
