Matteo was an excellent host! Extremely accommodating and very prompt when responding to messages and communicating about our visit to Venice. He was also very accommodating for the time of our arrival and departure, providing transportation when we needed it, and carefully explaining how to get to and from and around Venice. The apartment itself is wonderful, modern, and clean with all the proper amenities. It is conveniently located on the mainland near the island of Venice in calm neighborhood. Access to the island is just a 15 minute bus ride away. You have all the benefits of being on Venice island without having to fight off tourists in crowded streets.
