We loved everything about Silvana's apartment and appreciated the warm welcome by Maxi, who met our boat. The location was convenient to the Vaporetto, and therefore all of Venice. There were excellent restaurants a short walk away. The apartment itself was comfortable and very clean, with pretty furnishings and outdoor space--everything you could want, and more. We were not bothered by noise and very much appreciated being on the ground floor. Silvana was a generous hostess, providing lots to eat and drink, many good suggestions and timely, detailed communication. Our six night stay will surely be a highlight of our multi week trip abroad. We would return in a minute. Thank you, Silvana.
