Patrizias friend stefania was very helpful in helping us get started for our time in venice. She gave us some nice reccomendations and made us feel welcome in the house. The apartment was very cute and classic venetian style. Cosy but had everything you could need and GREAT location, walking distance to everything, while being quiet at night which ensured a good nights rest. Carlo also left some welcoming amenities like coffee, tea, nutella, as well as some useful books to help us out with getting around etc. definately reccommend this place to those wanting a smoothe, relaxing trip to venice
