If you are looking for a genuine down to earth Italian experience of Venice then staying in Matteo's apartment is your place to stay. The apartment is in a suburb which is just on the mainland before you catch the 15 minute bus, which takes you over the bridge to Venice. It is a regular apartment with all you need for a short stay to do a couple of day trips across to Venice. It is greatly cheaper and more clean to stay in Matteo's apartment then to stay on the island with budget accommodation. Matteo is the nicest person in the world and he went out of his way to make us comfortable and organised for our visit to Venice. He had coffee pods and chocolate biscuits on arrival and he has his own personalised book of extensive information for people who stay at his apartment. One night he especially brought a wine cork opener to the apartment after our casual enquiry by text message.
The beds are particularly comfortable. Thank you Matteo for letting us stay in your apartment.
