First of all Stefano was very responsive from the moment I made reservations at his flat. Gave me suggestions for the water taxis and all other water transportation, and answered any other questions I had. He provided very detailed information with directions to the apt and how to access the apt.

The apartment was very clean, had two nice full bathrooms, fully equipped kitchen, and a wonderful balcony on a small canal. The canal was across from a local hospital, but that did not create too much noise at all, in fact, it was quite interesting to sit on the balcony in the morning with my cup of coffee and watch the local activity of the area. That said, it was not loud or disruptive at all, no sirens at all. They were very respectful of the neighborhood.

We were about 30 minutes from San Marco Square, with a lot of restaurants and shops to discover on the walk. You are really in an area of locals, away from the tourist crowds which make it very nice, after exploring the busier parts of Venice during the day. The Proseco and cookies he left for us were very nice, as well as the coffee. We decided to eat in one night, and prepared a nice meal that we had at the dining room table.

All in all, the apartment was very comfortable! Thanks Stefano!
