Roberto is a fabulous host and his apartment is FABULOUS and as pictured. It’s in a really great location — very quiet neighborhood away from the tourist hustle and bustle but it’s very close to good restaurants and the must-see sites in Venice. Easy walking to everything. Roberto gave us a detailed map with pointers to desired locations (not only the typical sites but also to the grocery story, a wonderful bookstore, etc.). Communication was easy and great. He gave us clear directions of where we would meet when we arrived in Venice and then gave us lots of pointers and a good tour of the apartment and how things worked. It’s a beautiful apartment. One note to visitors expecting a high-flow shower typical in U.S. apartments: This apartment doesn’t have that, but it’s absolutely fine. We’d stay here again!
