Had an absolutely amazing long weekend in Venice at Serena's apartment. Serena was extra accommodating with our check-in & departure times and very communicative prior to arrival and sent easy directions to find the location. She even texted us during our stay to let us know about a festival that was going on. Upon arrival we were delighted to find the apartment so bright and gorgeously decorated. Such a nice mix of home-y personal style but still impeccably clean and functional. She took time to show us around the apartment and how everything worked as well as pointing out various points of interest of Venice on a map and gave us some recommendations for restaurants and getting around. Serena even had even stocked up with milk, juice, cookies, bread, and some various essentials for us to have during our stay. It was lovely having a cup of tea at home, looking out the window and watching the gondolas go by the canal below. The apartment is perfectly located - just a quick 10min walk to the busy tourist area near San Marco square, and even closer to the Rialto Bridge. But also, just a 2 minute's walk in the opposite direction and you'll be in quieter neighbourhoody streets of Cannaregio - it's the best of both worlds. Don't hesitate, stay here!
