My husband, 5-year old son and I had a fabulous stay at Apartment Guggenheim during the Easter holidays. The apartment is extremely well located for all the sights in Venice, yet in a very quiet spot on a picturesque canal. The apartment itself is spacious, comfortable, very clean and furnished well in a contemporary style, which was everything we needed and wanted and at a fraction of the price of a similar hotel in Venice.

Fabio is a great host, and everything went smoothly. We went with his recommendation for a watertaxi from the airport, and it is THE only way to enter Venice if it's your first visit, which it was for me and my son. We also arranged for a late checkout, which was not a problem as there were no guests arriving on our day of departure. All we had to do was ensure our luggage was packed and tucked away so the cleaner could do her job whilst we spent our last day sightseeing.

It was easy to walk to the major sights of Venice, and getting the waterbus everywhere from Zattere or Salute stops was an easy walking distance from the apartment.

Venice is a fabulous city, and if you have young children, don't miss Museo Storia Naturale (the Natural History Museum) opposite the S. Marcuola waterbus stop on the Grand Canal. The Peggy Guggenheim museum, only a stone's throw away from the apartment is well worth a visit too, although very expensive and unbelievably, charged an entrance fee for children. (All other sights in Venice did not).

I would not hesitate to recommend this apartment to anyone who is visiting Venice. It made our stay even more special.
