I'm not sure our stay in Venice could have been any more perfect! This apartment was well placed for transport links and for walking into the tourist spots of San Marco, etc, without being in a crowded tourist neighbourhood. It was lovely to see venetian life carrying on around us, the morning visit of the bin men with their floating bin lorry was a highlight for all of us, especially my 4 year old son.
Paola was lovely and very helpful and despite what some of the reviews mention, we found her English to be very good, it was more than sufficient for getting us to the apartment and settled - far in advance of our Italian skills, thank goodness!
The placement of the apartment is perfect, with local shops etc not far away and all the major sights of Venice either a short walk away or the option of several different vaporetto stops within walking distance.
If we ever get back to Venice (and we really really want to go back) our first job will be to try and book this apartment again!
