We just returned from 3 days in Venice and had an amazing visit. We were 4 American adults and one 11 year old child, and the layout of the apartment was perfect. The bedrooms were large with comfortable beds, great air conditioning and incredible views of the Rio Marin canal below. The apartment has a lovely sitting area, with beautiful terrazzo floors, antique furniture and gorgeous glass chandeliers. The kitchen was recently redone and is fully stocked with dishes, cookware, herbs, and a full size refrigerator and freezer. There is a wonderful grocery store directly downstairs, and we enjoyed watching the cargo boats unloading the goods at 8:00 in the morning. Quite the process! We very much enjoyed having two bathrooms -one with a shower and one with a tub. We also loved special touches like the blow dryer! Other reviews have mentioned a sewer smell, but we did not smell anything at all in the apartment. It was incredibly clean, and it was evident that Luca has taken great care in furnishing and designing the space. Luca was a very gracious host, and met us at the train station and escorted us by 5 minute walk to the apartment. It is about 3 stories up, so persons with mobility issues may have a difficult time. We were just fine, but pack lightly! Luca recommended some great local restaurants, and has a complete guide of things to do in Venice. We especially liked seeing the Rialto Market and doing a boat tour of Murano, Burano, and Torchello. The apartment is in a quieter part of the city, which we really appreciated after the crowds in the tourist areas - about 15 minute walk from the Rialto Bridge, and about 25 minute walk from St. Mark's square. We took a water taxi from St. Mark's one night and it was 60 euro. The water taxi to the airport was about 120 euro. Overall, we had an amazing stay and would highly recommend this apartment. Thank you, Luca!
