I only wish I could rate this property higher, 5 stars is simply not enough. We were met by the cleaner as Cristina was unavailable to meet us that early in the day, but the instructions to get there were very clear. We were shown the apartment, given the keys and we dropped off our bags to go explore. We happened to visit during a heat wave and upon returning after a long and hot day we were relieved to be met with the cool air of the air conditioned apartment. We were immediately impressed by all the thoughtful touches - Prosecco and a kind of cracker to welcome us, a house book explaining everything and coffee table books about Venice and local attractions. Everything we needed for our stay was provided - soap, shampoo, laundry soap, toilet paper, etc. Even some bottled water in the fridge and Nespresso coffee pods. The location is phenomenal- a close walk to anything you could need - 5 min to St. Mark’s square, a restaurant steps from the door and many more a few steps past that. The apartment is situated on a canal that is obviously on a gondola route as they would always pass by, some with an accordion player and singer - we absolutely loved hearing them pass by. Another night the restaurant/bar down the street had a saxophone player for a while - very romantic hearing the music softly echoing down the canal. The apartment was spotless and obviously well cared for. We had some questions regarding directions and travel and Cristina was always quick to respond. He recommendations were also spot on - especially Gelateria Nico - simply incredible ice cream treat on a huge veranda over the water - worth the trip.
All in all an excellent stay and I would heartily recommend anyone visiting Venice to stay there.
