Riccardo was a fantastic host. He was extremely responsive, met us at the vaporetto, helped us with our bags, provided us with a map and marked out key locations as well as several places to eat. I also enjoyed talking with him for a couple hours (!) after we arrived.

The apartment is spacious, super-clean, and has all the amenities to make it a very comfortable place to stay in Venice: A/C, washing machine, fully stocked kitchen, etc. Plus it's in a terrific central location. Couldn't have been better!
