Furio's apartment is great, very spacious for the four of us especially compared to the hotel room our friends opts for. It was just like the pictures in the listing and we only had two nights in Venice but it was so nice we wished we had stayed a week. The location is great and it was easy to find (thus was really nice because Venice streets are tricky) once we were shown the landmarks. It is just a few turns away from the fancy shopping street and St Mark's but far enough away to have pace and quiet. The AC was the best we had anywhere in Italy. The bathroom is very attractive, modern, clean spacious. The washer was so handy and there is a nice big rack for drying. Kitchen has everything you need for just right for breakfast, afternoon snacks or a pasta night in. The gondoliers going by right under our window were really nice and the kids loved it and they don't go very late at all so no late night singing or anything. In fact we took a gondola ride and were able to find the one that went right by the apartment windows, kids thought it was great. The apartment was just the right amount of historic Italian and modern appliances. They also had board games, assortment of fiction in English and lots of travel books which I borrowed a small one to walk around with because mine was so heavy. We feel lucky to have stayed at his apartmeant and it really made the trip even more enjoyable. Thank you!!
