Venice is a charming city, and Federico is a charming host! He was in regular contact with me before arriving, he met myself and my friend at the station, and helped us find our way around. I really enjoyed our conversations and his advice was very useful!
His apartment is lovely, it has a terrace, and it's located in a fantastic vibrant area, overlooking a canal.
The room is spacious and airy, heaps of storage, with a gorgeous modern bathroom. Beds are hard in Italy, and this one is no different, and it's big, the sheets are clean and it was a wonderful haven after long days of walking, eating and drinking.
If you have a sweet tooth, you have to go to Tonelo which is just around the corner. I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. Great coffee there too. And straight across the road is a good bar- Cafe Noir I think.
So thanks Federico, staying with you in Venice is highly recommended.
