My friends and I spent a weekend at Furio's apartment in Venice, and we really enjoyed it! The place is well-equipped and spacious. The location is great, it's a bit away from the crowds, but close to a vaporetto stop and a nice 15 min walk from San Marco Square. We didn't get to meet Furio, but his mother helped us check-in smoothly, and communication with Furio was excellent. He was also kind enough to let us leave our bags in the flat as our train was only leaving in the evening. He also left us some food & wine for our stay, which we really appreciated. We'd definitely recommand staying at Furio's place!
