The apartment is ever so lovely, spacious, and in the best location in Venice. Tucked away steps from of the Grand Canal and Rialto Bridge, we felt total immersion into the Italian culture. Every detail was not over looked from fresh fruit, blood orange juice, and bottled water upon arrival to the escort to the water taxi for our return trip to the train station. The kitchen and bathroom fittings were modern, spacious, and recently renovated. Live flowers in every window seal made it feel like home. My sons enjoyed playing chess in the evenings while watching Italian television on the flatscreen TV's. The beds were very comfortable, too. Gianni's advice and recommendations to delicious restaurants and pizzerias were spot on (best spider crab and seafood rice). Again, thank you Gianni for helping make our trip to Venice memorable!
