We had a wonderful stay in Iryna's apartment. It was well-appointed, spacious, with very comfortable beds. The view from the kitchen/dining room is beautiful and the sea breezes were wonderful! As others have said, it is far from the chaos of the tourist area and is very quiet. It was quite hot in Venice when we were there (mid-July), so sometimes the walk back to the apartment seemed longer than it would in better weather, but we still enjoyed our stay very much. Iryna arranged for her friend, Anna, to let us in and be our point of contact. Anna was very helpful and friendly. We would definitely recommend Iryna's apartment for those who want to stay away from the crowds and noise and instead stay in a quiet, lovely residential area.
