Lolli wasn't able to meet us in person but two of his friends, Chiara and Irene, met us at the waterbus station. They were very friendly, helped us with our luggage and gave us the tour of the apartment.
The room and adjoining bathroom were very clean and comfortable, and the full size bathtub is lovely. The apartment is perfectly located in beautiful, less touristy area of Venice that was still only a five minute walk to the main waterbus station of Accademia, where there is also a bridge that connects you to the larger main island.
We met Lolli on the last morning of our stay and he was friendly, engaging and gracious, offering us coffee and chatting with us about our stay. While we only met him briefly, we would happily stay with him again, especially in such a stunning apartment.
