Very much enjoyed staying in Gabriele's apartment in Venice. It is as advertised: spacious and clean with comfy beds and a nice bathroom and kitchen. Location was great too, located near the S.Samuele and Academia watertaxi stops. It's a short walk to the main tourists sites but still away from the hordes of tourists so it's quite quiet and peaceful at night. Gabriele also has some helpful items in the apartment for guests to use such as Venice travel guide books and a plug converter. At check-in Gabriele's assistant Anna met us at the watertaxi stop and showed us the way to the apartment. She was very prompt, helpful, and friendly and served as a bit of a tour guide for us as well.
Everything was great except for two things:
Not enough soap was provided and no shampoo. Fairly standard for hotels and b&b's to provide these in sufficient quantities. It wasn't necessarily easy either to find a place to buy these items in Venice (at least for an outsider), plus not something you'd want to worry about when vacationing.
The garbage disposal/sorting process wasn't totally clear and there was a fine listed for not complying with the rules. We didn't want to risk it and decided to throw our garbage out in the public garbage bins in the town. Wasn't a big deal for my group since we were out all day and didn't have much trash in the first place.

We really enjoyed our stay and our time in Venice. I would highly recommend booking with Gabriele and would do so again myself if ever back in Venice.
