Staying in this cute cozy apartment really made the difference on our trip to Venice. The location is right off a beautiful piazza, and about 10 steps away from one of the canals. It was like a fairytale to wake u each morning and look out the window at a quaint little foot bridge over one of the canals. The apartment is brightly decorated with subtle details everywhere - it really felt like someone but a lot of love into the decor. More important it felt like home, it was so relaxing and welcoming. The host was incredible - she met us at the door, walked us up, showed us how everything works and had a little binder with a map and a list of her favorite local restaurants. We really felt great due to her patience, thoughtfulness and guidance. Here is a tip: She asked us to download WhatsApp before we arrived and use it for directions - I figured google maps would be just as effective - it was not. We ended up getting lost because google maps does not work well there due to some issues. But once we downloaded WhatsApp - just as the host recommended we do - we found the place immediately. Our host was so polite to us even though we kept her waiting for an extra 45 minutes. - she was amazing and patientwith us. So the lesson: when a host recommends downloading an app, do it!
Th location of the apartment was even better than advertised— close to the train station, right in the middle of an old and romantic part of town, one building away from a little convenience store, and looking out over a very good restaurant that serves amazing dinner and great wine.
I strongly recommend this apartment and host if you seek a cozy, comfortable, easy to access, super conveniently located place with a helpful and caring host.
