This apartment was just fabulous! The pictures represent it truly. If possible, it’s even better in person. We stayed for 3 nights in November, just missing the worst flooding in 50 years. Sebastiano made sure to let us know when we could meet, after high tide subsided a bit. His brother met us at a designated time near the Rialto Bridge stop. I messaged Sebastiano when we arrived at the stop and informed him of exactly where we were standing. He messaged back that his brother Gabriele would be there in 5 minutes, and he was. It was a quick 5 minute walk to the apartment. Unfortunately the lift wasn’t working due to recent flooding, which was completely understandable. The apartment is on the 4th floor, which is perfect during the flooding season. Fortunately, there were two string men in the family to carry the luggage up. The apartment itself is beautiful. Everything was very clean. The sheets were clean and felt wonderful. There were plenty of towels left for us to use. We are a family of four, including two adult children who appreciated having their own bedroom and bathroom. Gabriele gave us access to the entire apartment. It was more space than we needed but a nice treat from our previous hotel room. He also collected the required city tax and provided a receipt. The furnishings look like traditional Venetian style. It felt like we were staying in the wing of a palace. We didn’t do any cooking but the kitchen was very modern and beautiful. From one bedroom you can see the top of the Campanile. From the living room, you can get a glimpse of a canal. It is in an amazing location—5 minutes walk to Rialto and 5 minutes to St. Mark’s Square, if that. There’s a good gelato place called Venchi a few doors down. I would highly recommend this apartment! I would stay there again in a heartbeat!
