Riccardo was the perfect host. He met me at check-in, ran through everything I might need to know about the flat and also took the time to show me the map he had annotated for us with all of his recommendations for restaurants, bars and markets in Venice. And they were great recommendations! We felt like we were always were the locals were - which is just what you want when you go away! The apartment itself was well decorated (just as you can see in the pictures), comfortable and super-clean. It has everything you might need. Overall, I highly recommend it.
