Federico was the perfect host. He met us at the train station, as Venice can be a bit hard to navigate without some experience. When the ticket machine for the water transport shortchanged us, Federico gave us the difference from his own pocket! He was extremely helpful with information about restaurants, places to see and good places for photographs (my husband is a photographer).

The apartment is in a great neighborhood, very centrally located, and was great for us. Although the kitchen is a little small, it was fine for us to make coffee in the morning. The terrace is a great feature for breakfast--very sunny. Everything was very clean and orderly. Federico even let us leave our luggage at the apt. until it was time for our train because the next tenants weren't checking in for a few days.

Overall, a great experience!
