My husband and I had a wonderful stay in this apartment. Our visit to Venice started with a wonderful greeting from the host who walked us to the apartment and helped get us familiarized with the city. She was so kind, and had a map ready for us with recommendations for attractions to see as well as wonderful restaurants. Overall we had a nice stay in the apartment. It was in a great neighborhood that was quiet and in close walking distance to any site on the island. The air conditioning was a blessing as well. The apartment is rustic and fits the "old feel" of the buildings in Venice, but has many amenities to make you feel at home. If I had to be constructive about anything it would be that the bed was very hard and the pillows were very flat, but we got over this quickly because we loved our stay in Venice so much. I would highly recommend this apartment to others.
