I felt kind of bad leaving a “was about what I expected” feedback, because it makes it sound kind of ordinary. Based on the map and pictures, I expected a great location and a nice bedroom with a cozy kitchen, and that’s what we got. Based on reviews, I expected quality hosting, and that’s what we got, with Jacopo’s friend Antonia going so far as to chase us down after seeing us pass her shop and showing us the way to the place. The apartment was close to the Grand Canal and other sites, yet far enough out of the way to avoid crowds if you wanted to. I’d recommend it for sure.
