Gabriele was a fabulous host. From picking us up at the vaporetto stop and walking us to the apartment to dropping off detergent to do laundry, Gabriele went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. In addition, we had trouble with the hot water (someone had shut off the gas unbeknownst to us) and Gabriele was over within an hour to fix it AND brought us traditional Venice-style biscuits for the trouble. He was extremely attentive and responsive to any questions we had during our stay.
The apartment is on the small side, though I think this is typical in Venice, but was very clean and had all the necessities. Having a clothes washer was a really nice perk.
