This was our first time in Venice and it was at the tail end of our trip through Italy. Federico agreed to allow us to check-in late (~11pm) but we arrived about 3 hours ahead of schedule. Federico agreed to meet us at the apartment to give us the keys and show it to us even though he had plans that evening. When we arrived the apartment blew us away, it was better than the pictures. Federico told us some places close by to eat. He came back the next morning and took us to his favorite cafe and walked us through a map of Venice of all the best places from his experiences and we were not disappointed!

He was a gracious host that treated us with respect and kindness. From the initial time I asked him about the apartment to the time we closed the door to leave Venice, Federico was there to answer questions and grant last minute requests. I felt comfortable and was beyond impressed with this experience.
