Fabio's apartment s fabulous! It is close to the Rialto, on a fairly quite calle, and is as well appointed as it appears in the photo. We didn't meet Fabio, but his daughter was quite helpful. We had some difficulty finding the apartment, so she met us in calle and even helped us carry our luggage up several flights of stairs. We were only in Venice briefly, but would have been quite happy to stay longer and to make use of all of the apartment's conveniences.

Our trip coincided with a heatwave in Venice. The day before we were to arrive, Fabio let us know that the air conditioner was broken. The two fans he purchased worked quite well for the few days we were there. The only downside was that at night we had to leave the windows open, which left us vulnerable to many mosquitoes.

We also had some problems with the internet and outlets after a power outage. Fabio was responsive, sending someone over to help us, and following up by text and phone to make sure the issues were resolved.
