We had a wonderful stay in Venice, and so enjoyed Valentino's hospitality. He communicated with us about everything we needed, providing detailed directions on how to get to the apartment, and many helpful suggestions. He does not live year-round in Venice, however his neighbor Priscilla was responsive to communication as well, and met us to let us in and show us what we needed to know. There was a bottle of Prosecco waiting for us, along with some breakfast foods and candies. The apartment is in a great neighborhood, and it was very easy to get around on the Vaporetto, with a stop nearby. Clean, comfortable, and amazing views over the water.
