Stefano was the most professional and put-together host we've yet met. His unit is located perfectly in the heart of Venice, and the privacy is exceptional. It's a very large and open floor-plan with very unique features throughout (he's an architect). We didn't use the kitchen very much, but it's well-equipped. Stefano is in-touch with his city, as all recommendations he gave for food and sights were on-the-mark. Everything worked very well in the unit, and it's location allows a peaceful sleep among the chaos of all the tourists on the island. There isn't much water pressure in the shower/sink, and smells from the sewer manage to creep back up the pipes and out through the sink hole and toilet, but other than this it's a very nice place to stay.
