Matteo is a great host with an easy and helpful style - truly hassle free. The apartment is central in Venice and so conveniently located for a city break with gondola rides, art and architecture everywhere and close by. There are lots of stairs but no lift. The interior is clean and bright, and well furnished (the bed was comfortable) but not in any particular style. We didn’t cook (too many lovely restaurants all around) but all the facilities are available.
