Frederico has a lovely home in a beautiful section of Venice outside of the insane tourist areas. Lovely cafes, restaurants & shops nearby (even a cool bead shop next door), and, as is the case with all of Venice, his home is close and far away from everything (depending on how lost you get). Additionally, I found Frederico to be a wonderful and gracious person -- friendly, and warm and very helpful. I will absolutely be in touch with him when I return to Italy, and of course Venice. He is a delightful host with a true passion for his city!
