Fabrizio is a great host, very friendly, helpful and a nice guy. The apartment suited us well. Spacious, well furnished and funky in an old building. The kitchen and bathroom were well fitted and modern with everything you need if you want to cook any meals yourself.. with Venice being quiet expensive it was nice to cook breakfast or make a picnic lunch. Added to this a well stocked market is right in front. It is a 15 minute walk from the crowded St Marc's Square, but if you don't walk in Venice you will not experience it. There are lots of more reasonably priced restaurants in the area away from the day tripper crowds.
