In addition to the apartment being a beautiful treasure (with windows and balconies for beautiful cross-breezes of sweet northern Italy air), Matteo was so very kind throughout our stay. He picked us up (when we gave up trying to walk without GPS, lol), he immediately responded to our questions (lightning storm had caused a power outage and he described exactly what to do), & he helped us out of a predicament caused by a car rental situation (boo, Hertz!) The whole experience was wonderful because of Matteo.
Oh yeah, and then there was Venice. :)
His recommendations for places to eat were spot-on; helps to be born and raised there apparently! :) Matteo, grazie mille. Hope to see you & family sometime in Florida!
