Filippo's place is conveniently placed if you want easy access via the vaparetro into Venice. We stayed for two nights and got the 48 hour vaparetro pass. Loved heading into Venice from Lido island every day and then heading in again in the evening for dinner. Didn't see much of Filippo which was absolutely fine as we felt we had the whole apartment to ourselves during our stay. We had full access to his kitchen and really enjoyed our stay.
