If you are going to Venice, stay here: it is perfect! It is a beautifully renovated apartment with everything you could need, only a hundred metres from the Grand Canal and two minutes from a vaporetto stop. There is a small canal running right past the sitting room windows and a quiet terrace too. Only a short walk from I Frari and the Rialto, it is 20 minutes from San Marco, but in a quiet, authentic part of Venice, with shops and restaurants nearby. Paolo and his sister made us feel very welcome and were very helpful, for example arranging a water taxi for us...the best way to arrive in Venice! The apartment was immaculate, air-conditioned and very comfortable. We did not want to leave.
