Nikita was absolutely great! He was there to greet us upon our arrival and was very friendly. Prior to our arrival I reached out to him on the best way to get to his place and he provided very detailed instructions on how to get there and even provided pictures to help you along the way. The best instructions we’ve ever had! Nikita also gave us some recommendations and a map to help us get around during our stay. The apartment is in a great location, set back from the crowded parts of Venice but within walking distance to some of the main sight seeing. The common room also has a nice view of the gondolas!!!
