Piero e Silvia we're fantastic people to stay with! They gave us good information as well as excellent local restaurant recommendations. The location of the apartment in Castello was also ideal with easy access to the Castello vaporetto or a few min walk to Piazza San Marco. There is also a Coop, a local grocery store, very close to the apartment. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone of our friends wanting to stay in a less tourist area of Venice.
