Sparkling wine, biscuits and 4 big bottles of chilled sparkling water stored in the refrigerator for our use, really made us feel welcomed, especially arriving in Venice on a hot and humid day. Thank you, Gabriele.
Some people said all tourists will get lost in Venice. We certainly were. Luckily, Gabriele's apartment is close to St. Marco Square, use it as a guiding point got us back to the apartment time and time again. Besides, the location is just minutes from the main water bus stop, amidst key attractions and rows of restaurants, it's convenient to the max. As for the apartment itself, my wife and I loved it. It's small but cozy. We totally enjoyed our 3 days stay there.
