A spacious and stylish apartment, well-equipped and centrally located but still quiet, with more or less everything you need for a restful stay in Venice. The apartment is five minutes’ walk to the nearest supermarket and a minute from la Fenice opera house. St Mark’s square is around ten minutes or so further on.
Francesca is very kind and helpful and responds quickly to any questions – we had a few issues with the electrics and although they couldn’t be fixed whilst we were there, we were kept informed.
The air conditioning units are in the master bedroom and dining room, which is linked to the second bedroom by an archway (NB: no door – check the plan), keeping the bedrooms cool at night. We more or less lived on the balcony, which was great for us, as we were three people – five would struggle to use the little table for anything more than drinks.
Francesca provides lots of useful information and recommendations, such as the nice café/Pasticceria next to the opera house and other restaurants. She did not recommend the restaurant between the apartment and the opera house with good reason. Beware! We had a very over-priced and underwhelming meal there.
