Wow, Sergei was the best host anyone can ask for! Before we arrived, he gave us detailed instructions on how to get to the place. As soon as we arrived, he picked us up from a square nearby, showed us everything meticulously, including the kitchen, bathroom, washing machine. He provided all kitchen appliances, including cooking supplies, oil, vinegar, salt, etc. He also provided directions to the supermarket which was only 2 minutes away by foot! The apartment was very clean and well-prepared, and felt like a home away from home. We loved the neighborhood too! It is very quiet and very convenient (only 1-2 minutes from the water taxi), away from the noisy tourist areas. However, the main attractions were only about a 20 minute walk away, and walking was a great way to experience the unique atmosphere of Venice! Nearby were lots of great seafood restaurants. Highly recommend!! Thank you for everything Sergio.
