We were met by Diego near the Rialto bridge and shown to the apartment - he was super friendly and helpful and it was a lovely touch that he had left us a welcome bottle of prosecco! Venice is such a unique, amazing and absolutely charming city and Matteo's apartment is so well located it is a true local taste of Venice. The gated courtyard is secluded off a small street and a canal flows right beside the window - you can wake up and take a peek out at the boats below! It is walking distance to loads of restaurants, quaint shops and the main tourist attractions - thank you Matteo for making our trip to Venice an unforgettable experience!
