Vito was a gracious host who met us to check us in and give us all the necessary information. He even remembered that the next full day was a Sunday and managed to procure bus tickets for us to make getting into metro Venice easier. The parking is indeed free and secure on the lot around the apartment. The apartment is beautifully furnished for everything you might need for a long or short stay including a full kitchen and a washing machine With detergent. The bathroom was very clean and while some other reviewers complained about the shower, there was plenty of hot water and water pressure. I didn’t find the shower too small at all. The bed was comfortable and the room can be made very dark. Vito worked with us on our late check-in and was able to fill every request we made. Lastly, all his advice about seeing and getting around Venice was spot on! It truly is no problem catching the bus for the 20 minute bus ride into Venice. All in all, I highly recommend his lodging and will be re-booking with them when we return to Venice!
