Furio was a fantastic host. He met us exactly on time and quickly oriented us to the apartment. He gave us suggestions for restaurants and tours worth investigating. The neighborhood was equally short walks to St. Marc's square and Rialto bridge areas. The small piazza with the apartment entrance was very quiet, secluded, and seemed quite safe. The apartment overlooks a canal where gondolas pass in the early evening. Hot showers, equipped kitchen, air conditioning, and laundry made our stay top notch. The building has TONS of Venetian charm and is kept clean. Thanks Furio!
