The high ceilings and spotless interior greeted us after a short walk from the train station. While Venice steamed under the early August sun, Fillipo's apartment remained a haven of well-conditioned air and steady wifi connections for the begrudging afternoons of remote work bookended by espresso from the café at the foot of the building and some of the best dining we've had along the canals. The worst thing I can say about the apartment is that our meandering path from the Biennale took close to 30 minutes, which is far from a complaint. My next visit to Venice will begin by checking the availability of this apartment, which I'm sure will receive yet another prompt and warm response from Filippo. Highly recommended.
