We just finished 2 quick days in Venice to finish off our Christmas/New Year's holiday in Spain and Italy. Vanessa and Fabiano were great hosts and offered many helpful tips for places to eat and things to see in the short time we had. Vanessa gave us good information on transportation options to get to the apartment and she and Fabiano met us at the water bus to walk us there when we checked-in. They also did a great job setting up an early morning water taxi for us to the airport that picked us up just a few steps from the apartment. The apartment is in a great location and just steps from Piazza San Marco. It is in a 14th century building and impeccably decorated with the charm and ambiance you would expect of an old Venice apartment, including the slightly sloping floors you'd expect in a building many hundreds of years old! My wife's favorite place we stayed by far! The apartment was spacious and comfortable for a family of four and had all the amenities we needed including a large fully equipped kitchen that looked brand new. The major sites in Venice are within easy walking distance or a short boat ride away from the apartment. There is a multitude of cafe's, pizzaria's, restaurants and shopping all around the area. There is also a grocery store about a hundred yards away for longer stays. The apartment is on a quiet walkway even though it is so close to the Piazza San Marco, so outside noise is not an issue. Overall, we very much enjoyed the apartment and had a great stay!
