Silvia and her place were absolutely fantastic in Venice. She was so helpful throughout and always available via text. She even helped us with our bags when they got delayed in Frankfort overnight. Highly recommend her car service from the airport--they drop you off a few minutes from the place. The apartment is above a couple of restaurants but we never heard anything from down below with the windows closed (and I am a light sleeper). Noise wasn't an issue at all. The house seems to be more in an area of locals than the touristy areas meaning you will have a 15-20 minute walk to get to most of the famous Venetian locations. Plan on doing a lot of walking around the city. We would absolutely stay here again.
