We had a lovely time at Pietro's place. The lady who met us there gave us several great recommendations for restaurants in the area and gave us a great map that helped us avoid the most crowded streets! The apartment was spacious, quiet, and well fitted for maximum comfort after walking around Venice all day.
The view from the kitchen window is wonderful just as everyone has said, and getting to say hello to gondoliers as they pass by is a real highlight. We were really happy with how well the place lived up to the photos, and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Venice.
