We had a great stay in Venice! Alfonso was very responsive when we called from the airport and Nicoletta met us at the arranged stop. It was a very easy walk to the apartment and Nicoletta kindly took the time to show us around the apartment and answer questions. The neighborhood is great, very central and easy to walk to everything, cafes, restaurants and a great grocery store all within an easy walk. The apartment was perfect for our family, but we did split up and have one parent on each level since we didn't want the kids sleeping alone down below (separate apartment below within same entry hall had one bedroom and one bathroom, the upstairs apartment had living room, kitchen, bathroom plus two bedrooms). The downstairs room was extremely quiet and great for sleeping although a little hot without much ventilation, the upstairs was pleasant with the AC at night and the windows open to let in light during the day. The kitchen had everything we needed, including a water and dryer for clothes! Thank you very much Alfonso and Nicoletta, we greatly enjoyed our stay and hope to come back some time to your beautiful city!
