Stefano's apartment is great. He is a very kind and obliging host and a local, so he knows everything about the area. I stayed there for 11 days so got to know it pretty well. It suited my needs location wise, and in general was very comfortable. There are perhaps a few minor things guests need to be aware of, like most places by a canal in Venice there are a lot of mosquitoes and in this apartment only a couple of windows had flyscreens to reduce the problem. There was no microwave in the apartment, but it has not been leased for very long so I am sure in future one will be included. The washing machine was in the bathroom but not yet installed during our stay. Overall a secure and central place - recommended.
