I stayed with my wife and two daughters ( 16 and 19 ) for 3 days. Silvia's apartment is as advertised, in a good location and was perfect for us. What set it apart in my view is that Silvia and Manuel where such great hosts. The briefing and map references for sites, restaurants etc ( plus helping with bookings) was better than a concierge at a 5 star hotel. Silvia also kindly helped when i had my wallet stolen on a crowded Vaporetto ( canal ferry), which can apparently happen during peak season.
