Olivier is a consummate host, ready to respond to any question about transportation, restaurants, or local events in Venice. His friend Alessandro met us at the apartment and explained everything and was also available for questions. The apartment itself is stunning in its design, especially with its third bedroom which can be created by pocket doors. Its location is perfect for exploring the Arsenale area of Venice and is convenient to transportation. It is quiet and restful, and its layout is perfect for a family or two couples. We would happily return to Olivier's apartment next time we are in Venice.
