Frederico is the perfect host. He provides a unique experience that you can not get in a hotel. His home is pure Venetian as is he. He loves living in Venice and he passes on the love of the city to his guests. Or he did to me. The room is big, as is the bathroom and perfectly clean. Any problem I had, from checking in late to finding somewhere to eat, he did everything he could to help. The location is perfect - away from the most touristy areas but close enough to walk anywhere.
Oh and go on the gondola paddling lesson that he recommends. It's as Venetian as you can get-- which is nice after spending so much time being swarmed by tourists and is quite inexpensive.
