We had an amazing time staying at Silvia and Manuel's truly beautiful, spacious and light filled apartment in Venice. The location is perfect - 5 mins walk from Rialto, in a very quiet, historic neighbourhood, 2 mins to San Stae vaporetto and close to everything you need (supermarket, cafes etc).
The flat is fantastically well-equipped, with everything you could possibly require including a kettle (!), washing machine, great modern bathrooms, luxurious showers, all new appliances etc (not easy to find in Venice). Silvia and Manuel were the perfect hosts: totally responsive to our questions pre-arrival, met us at the vaporetto stop, Silvia even hauled our 16 month baby in his pushchair up and down the bridges (grazie Silvia!) on the way there, and Manuel hauled our luggage on the way back! The fridge was fully stocked, the flat had maps, guidebooks, restaurant recommendations etc galore - every detail had been carefully thought of and they were available to us throughout our stay had we needed them. We are incredibly grateful to Silvia and Manuel for their generosity as hosts! We will most definitely be back.
