A beautiful and well-maintained period duplex apartment in the heart of Venice - minutes away from Piazza San Marco and the ferry station (Alilaguna) to the airport. It is exactly as it's depicted. The neighbourhood is incredibly central and historic, but also quiet (without feeling unsafe) at night! Really loved living here and feeling like I lived in the heart of Venice during my stay. Luca was an incredibly helpful host - he came to meet us at the ferry station at check-in, pointed out good wine bars to check out on our way to the flat, and had stocked the kitchen with water, prosecco, and some delicious biscuits. At check-out, he was also so accommodating in accepting other payment methods for the city tax and in helping us store our luggage for a few hours after we checked out. Overall, excellent experience, would definitely recommend as a base for exploring Venice.
