We were met by Nicolo exactly on time on the bridge near his house. He helped us with our luggage while giving us information about his house and the local area. He loaned us a mobile phone to keep in touch. We really enjoyed our stay. The house is in an interesting and quiet area. It had everything we needed and it was really great to live in a local house for a couple of days. It felt much more personal than a busy hotel. We will recommend to our friends. The local restaurants were great and we ended up going on a gondola ride with Luca, which was great too!
