Federico's apartment is outstanding for 3 major reasons. 1) The apartment is beautiful, spacious, quiet, and with every amenity. 2) The location midway between Piazza San Marco and the Rialto bridge is so convenient. We could easily walk to every place of interest in Venice. 3) Federico is a gracious, responsive, and warm host. He promptly answered our every question before and during our stay. And he gave us great tips on restaurants and sights in Venice, plus on negotiating the acqua alta (which turned out not to be a problem, despite the flood the month before.). It was a pleasure renting the apartment from him.
