We received a warm friendly welcome from Sergio who provided helpful tips and important practical advice. The location is simply superb - right in the heart of the gallery district next to the Peggy Guggenheim Collection with only a a short walk to St Marks Square. The canal views were delightful. The apartment was absolutely top notch. Everything was clean and very well presented. Beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped with all the appliances you could need including a washing machine. We highly recommend this apartment and the host.
