Federico is a superb host ... a friendly enthusiastic lover of Venice, whose wife is Venetian. Federico also manages other properties including those he and his wife own, and I recommend them highly. I have used airbnb constantly, almost since the very beginning, and this is only my second negative review. I stay in Venice several times per year, but I do not recommend this particular apartment. I stayed here because I needed to be in the location. In my view, the apartment makes sense only for multiple couples or a family, and only if you are not going to spend much time in it. It is otherwise very very overpriced for what it offers. The kitchen is sparsely equipped - there is no oven, but a microwave, and the dishes are not microwave proof. The pans are as cheap and flimsy as possible. The fridge is tiny, far too small for a group, unless guests never cook. Etc. There is also no place to hang out here except in the kitchen, which has only a small sofa for two. No living room, or tv room, or etc. Renter beware.
