Patrizia wasn't available to greet us but her husband did. My husband and I found this little studio was just fine for our 4-day stay in Venice. We liked that the apartment is located in a residential neighborhood, out of the crowds and commotion of Piazza San Marci and the Grand Canal. Reaching the studio from the airport or the train station is easy and there are many good restaraunts, pizzerias and gelato stands nearby. The cafe downstairs is very convenient for a light breakfast. The studio was clean and modern. This apartment is perfect for a short stay for one to two travelers and an excellent value.
