Communication before and during our stay was excellent. Nikita puts his heart into this apartment and it shows. Room was exactly as shown in pictures. Locations for tourists could not have been better! Right off St. Marcos square. Nikita met us at the apartment and gave us a map with his restaurant recommendations which were excellent. Air conditioner and wifi work great. There is a beautiful commercial iron that Nikita's mother let me use!! She was so sweet and it was nice meeting her too. Very quiet yet central to everything. Nikita decorates his apartments to reflect the decor popular during Venice long ago, so that is kind of fun.
A couple of warnings. This apartment is on the 4th floor. Also, you can hear "street noise" until at least midnight, but we are light sleepers and this was not a problem for us. Just talking, laughing, tourists milling about, but hey, you are on St. Marco's square. But wanted to give a completely honest review. Coffee available in the morning. Would definitely stay again!!!
