Frederico made us feel very welcome and gave us lots of details about things to do and places to eat. There were plenty of facilities in the kitchen. The apartment is beautifully positioned and gives guests a great sense of the real Venice with gondolas and worker's boats passing by. It was lovely to be near a piazza where the locals gathered and the kids played football. The apartment was comfortable and even though we used the one portable air-conditioner it was a bit hot and humid because Venice's weather was still hot even though it was September.
