We had a delightful stay at Federico's apartment. He was very accommodating & informative; he asked what he could do to make our stay comfortable. He also met us at the parking garage since we didn't know our way around Venice. He purchased breakfast foods to our specifications and also purchased an extra pillow for me to use in bed. Our conversations with him were interesting and informative ... on restaurant selections, use of the waterway public transport systems, to government & culture. He even invited us to join him & a few friends for a glass of wine. Our stay with him was very positive, and I highly recommend it to others. Two things for others to be aware of: the neighborhood is a bit noisy early in the morning if you leave your shudders open (which we liked to do) and the stairs might be a little difficult if you have large pieces of luggage. The location is very convenient for walking all over Venice, and it's only short walk from a vaporetto stop.
