Frederico is a topnotch host! He was incredibly knowledgeable about both this history and what was currently happening in Venice. Also extra-gracious and invited me to join him with friends in the evening, as I was traveling alone, and offered tips on where to eat vegetarian.

The room is just as described and was very comfortable--plenty of space, windows overlooking a canal and so nice to have a private bathroom after a week of sharing with friends!

General to Venice, I'd imagine and not to the apartment itself, if you are a light sleeper it's probably a good idea to bring earplugs. The reasons you come to Venice, the narrow stone streets and the coveted canal views mean that others' revelry tends to carry.

Cafe Impronta around the corner was much enjoyed and appreciated as well. Great pastry and coffee in the morning, but also delicious for dinner. They were incredibly kind and accommodating to me in general and also in changing dishes to vegetarian.
