Nicola was a great host. He was at the boat stop when we arrived and walked us up to the apartment. Location is great and is exactly as it is defined in the website. He was very helpful in giving us info about the place and all the while very communicative. Just a day before arriving, I had read a few negative reviews and was a bit concerned. But on arrival, it was a pleasant surprise and things worked out perfect for us. If I get a chance to go to Venice again, I would prefer to stay here. I strongly recommend to my friends as well.
