Nikita is a very friendly and easy-going host. He gave good recommendations on what and where to eat for authentic venetian food. Nikita was extremely helpful & honest as i left my coat in Venice and he kindly sent it back to me. The actual room is way better than the picture, it is very spacious, neat and clean. Boat ride from Stazione di Venezia Santa Lucia is about 45min while on foot is about 30min, and extremely near to st mark's sq. An excellent room to rent while in Venice!
