Guide was a considerate host with lots of tips and local knowledge. He made it a point to check in on me now and then, which shows that he cares about his guests. His apartment is beautiful and the room is large. The location has lots of little restaurants, cafes and a few grocery stores nearby and it is within walking distance of all the main sites in Venice. It is in a student area, which means it tends to get a little loud at night, but that was expected and it did not disturb my sleep.
