This apartment is 5-stars all the way through and the folks renting it out are 7-stars.
The place is immaculate and is tastefully decorated. The linen and towels were clean and fresh. The location is top-notch. It is just a few minutes walk from the San Silvestro stop and sits on one of the side canals so the view from any of the windows looks down onto the water. Everything is walking distance from this apartment, especially the Rialto Bridge, which is a great spot on the Grand Canal.
The hosts are THE BEST. As we were getting in really late the hosts stocked the kitchen with coffee, milk, juice, cookies and cake for breakfast. We could not have asked for nicer people to meet on our first night in Venice.
The location of this apartment is fabulous, once out the main door you are 3 steps away from one of the smaller canals and a small bridge. You are a few feet away from the Coop which is a well stocked convenience store. The apartment has a smart TV with wi-fi so we were able to enjoy Netflix during our downtime.
I should also mention that on our first night our train was horribly delayed coming in from Rome. The hosts waiting for us to ensure we had a smooth check-in experience. They walked around town with us at 11:30pm to 5 different restaurants to ensure we got some dinner and then made sure we would get back to the apartment safely. The 7-stars to the host family is more than deserved.
We will recommend this place to anyone going to Venice.
