Riccardo is the perfect host! He made us feel very at home immediately upon arrival and took time to make sure we were checked in comfortably. I needed to contact him once during our stay, and he responded quickly and helped figure out my question right away. The location of the apartment is excellent. We were able to walk all over from where we were and we felt like we were truly "living" in Venice for a few days. The apartment is exactly what we needed and was a great value.
