We absolutely loved this apartment. We have friends who are visiting later this year and we are insisting they stay here. It is exactly as it looks in the pictures but feels even more inviting when you arrive. The bed is comfortable, the couch is so comfortable you almost fall asleep as soon as you sit down, and the balcony/patio is fabulous - as is the sweet older couple who lives across the way. Rosanna and her sister were amazing hosts. They met us at the boat stop (even with our relatively late arrival) and gave us some wonderful recommendations that made the trip even better than planned (like showing us where the Jewish Quarter was and recommending a day trip to Burano). They were even kind enough to make up two beds for our friends who were joining us for the last night of our visit (but ended up getting stuck with a flight delay until the next morning). The location of the apartment is wonderful. The neighborhood is very local, away from all the touristy things but a quick walk to see them. The restaurants were great and it was fun to watch the kids (and adults) play in the plaza. The only thing is that there was not much hot water, but we've grown accustomed to that while living in Europe and expect it is an issue most places on the islands. We would absolutely recommend (and have already recommended to friends) staying here!
