Claudio was a great host, very friendly and welcoming. He gave us an overview of nearby area and Venice and provided maps. House was clean and had everything we needed, easily accommodated the 5 of us. Quiet neighborhood, there was a convenient pizza restaurant and bakery 2 mins away. House is secure and safe. Tram stop to Venice about 5 mins walk away and then 30 min tram ride to Venice itself (1.5 euro one way) , trams every 15 mins. Communication with Claudio was great.
