Pierre was very thoughtful and arranged to meet us at the vaporetto and guide us to his apartment. His friend got us settled and gave us a full orientation to the apartment and neighborhood. This is a non tourist residential area and you get a good sense of local life. You are still 20 minute from San Zachariah or Rialto but shops and restaurants in the area are frequented by locals. We stayed for a month and found the space to be very comfortable for 2 with ample kitchen eating area and comfortable sitting area plus a comfortable bedroom with ample storage. A great stay for us. Thanks Pierre.
