We had a fantastic stay - thank you Al! The host responded to our emails within a couple of hours, answering all our queries in a very friendly manner and giving us useful suggestions. Everything was well arranged for our arrival - the host waited for us at Rialto Bridge and we were able to check in a couple of hours before the advertised time, which felt so great. We loved the apartment - very clean and well kept, with lovely vintage furniture which created the perfect Venetian atmosphere, traditional Murano chandeliers. It is located in a busy neighborhood, 5 min walk from San Marco's square and Rialto bridge, but very quiet at night. The whole family thoroughly enjoyed having breakfast on the terrace each morning. The air conditioning was very useful to have after a hot summer day and the view of the canal was beautiful in the early evening. Overall, a brilliant stay and we will definitely visit again.
