We had a wonderful week staying in Fabio's apartment in Venice. The apartment was presented just as pictured. It was cosy, clean and had everything we needed in terms of self-catering, (lots of plates and pots and pans), including an authentic Italian percolator.

The apartment itself is perfectly located - it's a 10 minute walk from Rialto Bridge, and 15 minutes to St. Mark's square. It makes it very easy to access the best of what Venice has to offer, and is the perfect base to explore the city.

There is a Co-Op supermarket only 5 minutes from the apartment, which was perfect for buying breakfast and ingredients for dinner when we didn't want to eat out. On the nights when we did want to dine out, the apartment means that you are in the centre of Venice - and there is a wonderful choice of bars, restaurants and Osterias to choose from.

Personally, Fabio was a helpful host - he went above and beyond to help us during our trip, and was quick to answer the phone when we had questions about Venice or the apartment. He provided clear guidance and directions to get to the apartment, and happily pointed out local points of interest.

I would happily stay here again and would highly recommend it for anyone wanting to stay in Central Venice - it is perfect for two couples or a family of four.
