Filippo's place was super comfortable, clean, and private. It was easy to commute there by public transit as there is a bus that runs on the island. When I first arrived I got a little lost, but Filippo was very responsive and graciously picked me up!
Filippo's place is located on the island of Lido, which is a short waterbus ride from Venice. Do not let that deter you from staying with him! I personally loved being able to easily reach Venice by waterbus in the mornings, then retreat to the quiet island of Lido in the evenings. There was also a patisserie downstairs and it was a joy to wake up each morning to the smell of delicious baked goods!
Tips: Check out the Essentiale restaurant on Lido for a wonderful meal and watch the sunset outside with a view of Venice across the lagoon!
