We really enjoyed our stay in Venice - only wish it were longer! David's place is ideally located near the Academica bridge and only a 10-minute walk from Piazzo San Marco. The apartment comfortably accommodated a family of five. It has a well equipped kitchen, TV, wifi and lots of books about Venice. And it's located on a quiet lane away from the hustle and bustle of Venice. We didn't meet David but he was very responsive to our questions. Tip: we ate our meals at the apartment. There are grocery stores but they are about a 15 to 20 minute walk.
