I can not imagine a better arrangement for an individual or couple looking to have full access to Venice without the exorbitant cost of the hotels! Roberto's place is the perfect alternative. The home is intimate and comfortable without being stuffy or cramped. The kitchen is a welcomed addition to traveling, but considering the vast amount of amazing places to eat, you'll likely never need to use it. However, for a late night snack, or for those adjusting to time differences, there are a few markets nearby that offer ample options to put the kitchen to good use with. I loved everything about this listing, the loft style bed, the ALWAYS hot shower (tank-less water heater is clutch), opening the shutters every morning, listening to the serenades of the gondolas, everything. Roberto was prompt and responsive to all emails, had everything mapped and accessible prior to my arrival, and ensured that I was comfortable and enjoying myself throughout my stay. The listing was exactly as propositioned. Cheers Roberto! I look forward to returning to your home next time we're in Venice.

Side note: Although Roberto's home is in a quiet spot, Venice is a bustling city at all hours of the night and morning, I recommend a white-noise machine or alternative if you're a light sleeper. This advice applies to those staying in hotels as well. You can hear the city no matter where you are, that's just how Venice is, intimate and alive!
