Matteo's place was great!
The space was located in a very central location, less than a five-minute walk to the Rialto Bridge, and a 20 minute walk to the Piazza San Marco. Matteo's apartment was very secure and had a very homey feel to it, complete with air conditioning in the bedroom.
Matteo was unavailable for check-in, but his friend Antonella was available, and met us at the Rialto water taxi station. She was very nice, and spoke good English. She also took us on a scenic route to the apartment, giving us a great tour of the neighborhood, and providing us with tips on how to get back to the apartment and on some of her favorite places to grab a bite/drink. Matteo was very great with communication, and would respond almost immediately to messages we sent him.
I could not recommend Matteo's place more.
