Fabio was fantastic and really nice to work with! Make sure to bring exact change for the tourist tax to make it easier, but he was very flexible to receive it from us later. The apartment was great and had a really comfortable bed. If you do not take the water taxi he offers to arrange, I would recommend taking the public ferry (9.50 euro one way or opt for 48 hour pass) or the 2 euro gondola option as there are only two main bridges you can walk to cross the Grand Canal.
