Federico was an excellent host! He provided us with precise instructions regarding our arrival and extensive information about the local area as well as recommendations for the best places to eat and important sites. The apartment is perfectly located - very close to vaporetto stops and Santa Lucia station, and within easy walking distance on San Marco. There was a supermarket close at hand and lots of great eating locations, including one with vegan options. The apartment was very comfortable, easily accommodated five people and had a great kitchen. The building itself was beautiful and quiet. A perfect start to our EU vacation and we would not hesitate to recommend it to friends and stay here again ourselves.
