Fantastic home with photos that match. We spend mornings and evenings out on the balcony, with coffee or wine. Not too long though, as Venice was very very hot when we visited - haha.
The place was very clean and actually ready a little early for us! I left my luggage there but the cleaning lady let me know she would be done by 1:00 p.m. Piero texted me around 12:35 to let me know it was ready. Clean place. Spotless. Loved the wooden beams in apt. and little fridge. We made hot coffee but that was about it. Had to text Piero about how to start burners as we don't have things like them in U.S.
The place is about a 7 minute walk into the main street where all the shops and restaurants were. We liked being in a very quiet neighborhood and then walking to where we wanted during the day. It gave us sort of a sense of privacy. The place is about a 16 minute walk to the nearest vaporetto. The vaporettos were easy to use and you could be in the main part of Venice in about 35 minutes -- via a walk and a vaporetto. If you're looking to be in the center of Venice, this isn't the spot for you. But if you want a quaint private place with a wonderful balcony overlooking the canal (hard to find this even at the nice 5 star hotels!) this is definitely the place to be. We enjoyed it very much.
Piero was a fantastic communicator and very very friendly. We liked him a lot. Our only suggestion would be to maybe replace the twin bed in the small bedroom. My friend stayed in this room and found the mattress a bit rough. But everything else was definitely a 5 out of 5. We would gladly stay here again if Piero would allow us.
