Furio apt was truly an amazing experience. Located right next to the Teatro Fenice (the venice opera house) we arrived to a light rain, and being able to the hear the opera singers warming up and practicing their arias. It was absolutely enchanting.

The apartment was great. Located on the second floor, I was initially confused since the description is a first floor apt. The reason for this is that the first floor in venice is now uninhabitable due to floods. The apt was very quiet except for the occasional gondola passing by & the opera that wafted through the open windows - no complaints.

Furio met us at the teatro - 100 yards from the apt, which is easy to find and walk to from the vaparetto stop at St Mark's square (maybe a 7 min walk). He sat down with us and talked through the entire apt and gave us some advice on what to see and do in venice. The only complaint was that the washing machine was currently broken -something that we had been counting on using. I know things happen, but I would have appreciated a heads up. Regardless the apt was spotless, quiet, and just off the beaten path enough so that tourists weren't invading our every waking moment. I would recommend this apt without reservation.
