We had an excellent three nights at Roberto's. Roberto is an extremely nice guy, and fun to talk to. His English was sufficient for communicating with us despite our complete lack of Italian, and he was punctual to the minute for both checking in and out (he lives a little down the street, apparently). He provided lots of information about Venice, and it seemed genuinely important to him that we enjoy Venice in general and the apartment in particular. Roberto was really a perfect host.

The apartment is very big and beautiful, with a small, well-appointed kitchen, a washing machine, and air conditioners in both the living room and the huge bedroom. It is very tastefully decorated, and was immaculately clean. It is on the second floor overlooking the 'main street' of Venice, and next to one of the main canals, which can be easily seen looking out the living room windows. This made for a brilliant Venetian experience, and the apartment wasn't particularly noisy despite its location. The Guglie bridge is just outside, and a vaporetto stop is about a one minute walk down the canal. There are a couple of grocery stores within a few minutes' walk. It's about 15 minutes on foot to the Rialto bridge, 20 or so to Piazza San Marco, and within 10 of the train station and the parking lot at Piazalle Roma.

I can recommend Roberto's apartment without any hesitation whatsoever. It's a great value (for Venice), and I will definitely stay there again. Thanks Roberto!
