We are so grateful that we booked Gabriel's wonderful apartment. And, we are most grateful that we got to meet Gabriel and his lovely wife. This truly was the best stay of our recent 13-day (first) trip to Italy.
while other places we stayed in the country were lovely, our experience from start to finish with Gabriel was special and personal. Communication from the beginning was timely, and our questions before the trip were answered. The apartment is exactly as described and neighborhood exactly what we wanted - local with history and away from the crowds. Best of all was getting to meet Gabriel and his wife, and spending some time touring the neighborhood and sharing some time together. I wish we had had more time.
During our stay, we had questions about local options and how to best get from here to there, etc. and we texted and received help that made our stay extra-special.
We truly believe that where one stays can determine how you feel about a city or town . . . we loved Venice, and our stay in Gabriel's place had everything to do with the experience!!
