This apartment was truly perfect for me as a solo female traveler (though well equipped for slightly larger parties as well). I always felt safe, even when heading out before dawn most days. Ideally located within quick walking distance to Fondamente Nove (easy ACTV stop for travel to lagoon islands), Strada Nova, and a straight shot to San Marco, it was also away from the crowded hustle and bustle to allow for down time when I needed it. It had all the modernity that a person could be used to with the charm that I was hoping for from Venice. After nearly 24 hours of traveling to get to Venice, it was delightful to arrive to little treats from Michela and Stefano. Martina was great, helping to communicate all of the information I might need before my journey, and Giulia was wonderful once I arrived at helping me get to the apartment and also with warnings about the acqua alta. Truly an unforgettable stay, and if I can make it back to Venice, this will be my first choice for lodging.
