My wife and I stayed at Adriano's place for the past few days and really enjoyed the experience completely. Contact and communications with Adriano were perfect before and during our stay. He met us at the water taxi stop and took us to the apartment and showed us everything. He also gave us many different recommendations on places to eat which helped out a lot. The apartment itself was plenty spacious, was very livable and had pretty much any item in it you would need for day to day things. The location was perfect - very close to one of the main waterbus stops (San Stae), and lots of little cafes, restaurants and shops very close by. The neighbors were real neighbors and not tourists, which we loved - it gave us the feel or really living here. The best part is that although you are in a very quiet area, the walk to Rialto or San Marco or other popular spots is really not that far at all. For others considering a really nice place to stay during their time in Venice, I would highly recommend this place.
