Roberto was a very caring host. He picked us up at the vaporetto stop, helped us with the luggage, has a lot of tips and maps available and even offered us a welcome drink, cold water and wine. He even checked in with us during the stay to make sure everything is well and give us a recommendation for a rare event.
The flat is in a calm street in the middle of Castello. When you go from there to the Arsenale vaporetto stop it is getting more touristic. When you instead leave the apartment and go right there it feels more authentic and you can find a small place for breakfast, a vegetable shop and a small bakery.
The apartment itself is on the third floor. It was calm, very clean and very well equipped. The bed and cushions are firm. The decoration is very Italian and a little baroque.
