We stayed at Sylvia's apt for 3 nights the last week of September, 2014. Sylvia was very friendly, a great host, and excellent communicator. She was very prompt in answering emails and texts before, and during our stay. She was thoughtful enough to leave some goodies (bread, jams, cookies, juice boxes, etc) just in case you need something to tide you over until you get settled. She was very accommodating with our schedule which we appreciated very much. Check-in with her at the property was brief, straightforward and hassle-free.

The property was exactly what we wanted. The location is superb: centrally located, and an excellent location (a quick walk) to the vaporetto stop of San Samuele, which is near the Accademia Bridge stop. The apartment was very clean, modern and very secure. The size of the apt. was perfect for a couple like us. I'm not sure if it will be great for 2 more people, because you have to go through the bedroom to get to the bathroom. So if you have privacy issues with people who's traveling with you, then it's something to consider. The bed was comfortable to give us a good night sleep every night after exploring the city, and eating lots of great food Venice has to offer. The neighborhood was very safe, quiet and definitely far from the hustle and bustle of the tourist areas. We didn't have a problem going back to the apartment even late at night, or to go back during the day if we needed to take a nap after exploring the city in the morning. My absolute favorite thing to say about the location was the proximity to one of my favorite perfumery shops: the Farmaceutica di SMN. I was surprised, and ecstatic to find it's Venice location just around the corner, and a few steps away from the apartment.

We enjoyed our stay so much that if we go back to Venice, and decide to stay in an apartment again, we won't stay anywhere else. Highly recommended!

Thank you for everything, Sylvia!
