Manuel is an outstanding host. We had travel delays, so he picked us up from the train station. He was super responsive with any questions we had about anything really :) The bed was comfy, and the kitchen was well stocked with food staples and appliances. It was apparently unusually hot in Venice while we were there, so the heat in the apartment was overwhelming even with the two fans he gave us. Lovely neighbourhood, and easy to get to Venice itself on the bus.
