My mom and I stayed in Gilberto's apartment for three nights. Communication prior to our arrival was great and Gilberto was always quick to respond and provided us with all the info we needed. Although he could not meet us in person, he arranged everything so we could even check-in earlier than the usual check-in time. That was brilliant! The apartment itself was very spacious, clean and well equipped - there were even umbrellas. We were particularly happy that the heating worked so well as it the weather quite cold.

The location of the apartment was quiet and nice, restaurants, supermarkets and the 'Zattere' promenade (with Vaporetto terminals) are only a short walk away. Our restaurant recommendations: Ae Oche and Ristoteca Oniga. While the apartment is not located right in the middle of the busy tourist area, all the main sights are within walking distance. In sum: it was a great base to explore the city! After seeing all of Venice, Dorsoduro was our favourite part. We would definitely stay in Gilberto's apartment again and highly recommend this place to everyone! Thank you again, Gilberto, and all the best for you! M & S
