My wife and I traveled to Venice with our 2 small children recently. We met up with my wife's sister and her husband for the trip and all 6 of us stayed together very comfortably in the apartment. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!
The apartment is in a great, quieter part of Venice that is very easy to get to by Vaporetto - just a short walk from the stop. There is a small bakery right next door and a few other nice little restaurants and shops close by.
The apartment has 2 very beautiful, large bedrooms decorated in classic Venetian style with Murano glass chandeliers! We used the full kitchen with all the modern conveniences to make breakfast for the kids each day. The ground floor location with a private entrance right from the street made it very easy to depart and arrive each day with all our bags and stroller!
Ivan began before we arrived by asking if there was anything we needed for the children, and he had a crib waiting for us in the apartment.
When we arrived the first night in the rain, Ivan was waiting at the Vaporetto stop to greet us and make sure we settled into the apartment comfortably. He even had a bottle of wine for us!
He was easily available during our entire stay to answer any questions we had. He also kindly stored our bags for us the last day, after we checked out, so we could explore the beautiful city one last time.
We all had a marvelous time and would not hesitate to recommend Ivan and this apartment to anyone traveling to Venice!
