We could not have loved our stay in Venice any more than we did. Davide was a wonderful host, meeting us when we arrived and walking us to the apartment, showing us great places to eat and explore, and making us feel very welcome. His place is truly a gem -- the pictures and description don't do it justice. Lovingly cared for, comfortable, and well-stocked for a relaxing stay (towels, a towel warmer, pots, pans and utensils in the kitchen, even a TV and extra room for luggage). It's also got a great location -- a busy enough street that you feel "part of Venice" but not so much in the touristy area that you miss out on the feel of the city. The view over the canal is a delight, and you're in easy walking distance of food, shops, and more.
