We had an absolutely magical stay in Venice due in no small part to our wonderful hosts at Ca' del Remo. We ended up arriving many hours later than expected, due to a number of wrong turns and not understanding the vaporetto system, and Luca and his family were incredibly gracious and accommodating and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and welcome. The following morning, Luca came up to say hello (texting first to make sure it was OK) and even helped us out by printing some tickets for us that we had forgotten to print at home!

The apartment is in a great location, in a quiet residential neighborhood with a very local feel. Only a short walk to either of two vaporetto stops where you have access to most of the lines and everything you could want to see. We felt very much at home and loved having this little retreat to come back to after a day eating gelato and meandering through the little streets of Venice!

The apartment is quite spacious, spotlessly clean, and all the beds (even the sofabed!) were very comfortable. The pictures don't even really show how large it is. There are three full bedrooms (one with a twin bed, one with a king bed, and one with a sofabed), each with a big dresser and/or closet. Perfect for a family or larger group where everyone can have their own space. The kitchen is well-equipped, and the bathroom and shower were fantastic!

The apartment is on the second floor (3rd floor US) so there are a lot of stairs - this was not a problem for us, but just something to be aware of if you have a lot of heavy luggage.

Because we were in Venice for three days, Luca recommended that we buy the 3-day boat pass, and we definitely took full advantage of it! One thing to be aware of, especially in summer: Venice is fairly humid and rife with mosquitoes! So if you have yummy tourist blood, you may want to bring some bug spray. :) We did and it was fine, only saw one mosquito in the apartment, even though we had the windows wide open.

Overall we had a great stay and would definitely return!
