We enjoyed a lovely visit at Luisa's charming apartment in Venice! Luisa was extremely responsive with her emails and gave us precise instructions about how to get to the apartment using the Venitian water taxis. Fortunately, the apartment is very close to the Arsenale stop and it's only a 2-3 minute walk to get there. We were met by Luisa's housekeeper who was waiting for us at the apartment who could not have been nicer.

The apartment is on the top floor of a narrow building. It's attractively furnished and gets great light (unlike many Venetian apartments which can be quite dark as a result of the narrow streets and passageways). The two bedrooms, bathroom, and sitting room are on the lower floor. Upstairs, you have the kitchen, dining room table, and another seating area. The rooftop terrace is fabulous and it's wonderful having a glass of wine before dinner and looking out at the Grand Canal and all the boats parading by.

Luisa was kind enough to provide us with an internet key during our stay which was extremely helpful. I suggest that she install WiFi permanantly. One bedroom was a bit tight, but all the mattresses were quite comfortable.

The location is terrific and you're only a few steps from the Grand Canal and a few minutes walk from St. Marks Square.

All in all, we had a fantastic stay!
