My contact with Stefano was completely through Air B&B. He was quick to respond to my inquiries, answer my questions, and was extremely helpful. The flat is amazing! The terrace is what makes this place unique. It's relaxing to sit and sip your coffee or prosecco and watch the boats and people go by. Canareggio is a true residential area, and we felt at home strolling through the alleyways, walking by the canals, and sampling the many local restaurants and cafes. There's a local grocery store nearby for buying essentials, which Stefano guided us to through email. We simply fell in love with Venice. It's a magical place--and staying at Stefano's flat made our experience stand out, and he was very thoughtful (leaving a bottle of prosecco, snacks, and coffee for us to enjoy). The whole experience was simply magical! We truly felt like locals--especially when tourists came by in rented boats and looked at us relaxing on the balcony with what can only be described as envy in their eyes. We can't wait to return.
