This well-appointed apartment was as good as promised. The location was quite convenient — an easy 5-minute walk from one of the vaporetto stops, and close to grocers and an intimate neighborhood well-shielded from the usual tourist haunts. The kitchen was well-stocked with cooking implements, allowing us to fix breakfasts and even a home-cooked dinner one night. It's also close to very good restaurants — just a 5-minute walk from Antiche Carampane, for instance. Our party was four, which was comfortable for the space. We enjoyed meeting Francesca's mother, Emanuela, who patiently explained to us (in Italian) all that the apartment had to offer, and even sold us two bottles of her family's wine at modest prices. In short, this is a place to experience the "real" Venice, to actually live in the place instead of just being a visitor. The apartment itself was quite lovely and clean, with a nice garden and tennis court out back, and some beautiful Murano lamps to provide atmosphere in the cozy living room.
