I had a wonderful stay at Davide's flat right in the heart of Venice. You could not ask for a better location: smack dab in the middle of the Venice, a few minutes walk from Rialto, so easy access to either side of the Grand Canal, and all the restaurants and bars and shops you could want a few steps in any direction. As a host, Davide was great! He was helpful and courteous, and very accommodating, even when my arrival time changed while I was dealing with some missing baggage. The apartment has everything you need, two bedrooms, a kitchen and a dining room, and even a washer in the bathroom, should you need to wash some clothes. There is even a lovely rooftop terrace for your morning coffee or evening nightcap. It should be noted that you do have to climb a flight of stairs from the street up to the apartment, but for my part, I took that as a plus, as it meant I didn't have to worry about any unexpected flooding affecting my reservation or my stay. Thank you, Davide!!! I'll definitely be looking to stay here again when I return next year.
