Mattia was the perfect host. He met us promptly in a nearby square, and gave us a detailed tour of the apartment. The apartment was lovely, very clean and in a less touristy area of Venice. He even left us with several delicious treats for breakfast! He offered many other extras including power adaptors, a shoe shine kit and umbrellas for us to use. At the end of our stay, Mattia was kind enough to let us store our bags in his office. This gave us another full day of sightseeing after checkout! I would highly recommend this apartment and host. BTW I would also recommend the Corner Pub, near his apartment, for excellent food!
