Ivan was an outstanding host and his flat is an excellent place to stay in Venice if you want to avoid the crowds and feel like a local. Ivan was very communicative, greeting us at the boat stop and showing us all the local amenities near the flat. He was very helpful with getting around and suggestions. The flat itself is spatious, clean and bed is comfortable. Beautiful murano chandeliers. There was coffee, tea, bread, butter and jam waiting for us. Also left extra towels for an impromptu day trip to the Venice beaches. Would recommend and stay here again!
