Furio's apartment was in a quieter residential area away from the main tourists spots of Venice, which made for a nice respite from all of the busyness. Unfortunately, his neighbors are very loud at all hours of the night and morning. Venice law does not allow for air conditioning during our stay though temperatures were very warm. Slept with all windows open, very very noisy and many bug bites. But I suppose this could be expected with Venice. Furio and his mother were very accommodating hosts, made check in easy, and left us several items for breakfast and a delicious bottle of wine. They were both excellent hosts and readily available during our stay. We were grateful to stay near the giardini and had good access to waterbus and murano island.
