An awesome place to stay if you are visiting Venice. The harbor view alone makes this an A+ listing. Everything you need is in the apartment, it is clean and nicely decorated. Check-in was a breeze and the host promptly answered many of our questions via text during our stay. Valentino also provides his guest with very detailed restaurant and shopping guide, as well as an apartment smart book (how to run appliances, etc). Super attention to detail and his guest's needs! I was a bit hesitant about staying off the main Venice island, but after the first day I was glad we did. The apartment is about a 5 minute walk to a water bus stop with regular (10-15 minute) boats that get you to the main water bus terminals: super easy. When you return in the evening, the area is incredibly peaceful and lacking any evidence of tourists. I actually felt like a local. If this place is available, stay here on your next visit to Venice.
