Ugo was a good host and excellent with responding to emails etc. The apartment is situated in a good location for exploring and is away somewhat from the huge crowds that visit Venice. The apartment is tucked away from the main square and is relatively quiet, apart from Friday and Saturday nights, when the youngsters want to party! We were provided with all that we needed and we thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful city. Being close to a supermarket was a bonus, fresh fruit and vegetables as well as a good selection of cafes and restaurants (Ugo was helpful with recommendations). Some interesting little shops to explore too.
