This apartment and the warmth of the Pasti family will be with us truly for the rest of our lives. The positive reviews are true: this place is gorgeous, clean, elegant, and kindly stocked by Signora Pasti when you arrive. If you don't speak Italian, Francesca is an amazing resource for planning meals. If you do, her mother is so helpful and wonderful, and lives just downstairs. Neither woman is intrusive - only kind. The location - overlooking a quiet canal, steps from a piazza where the locals hang out and watch their kids play soccer after a school day, or drink cocktails - is utterly perfect. Signora Pasti not only provided a crib for our toddler, but she dressed it with the elegant, hand-embroidered linens her own children used. I mean... it doesn't get better. This place warmed our hearts.
