My family and I first met Scilla and her friend at the water taxi stop and they were very helpful with our luggages. We walked for about 500 meters to the apartment, which shared a building with another apartment upstairs.

The apartment is located on the second floor of the building so you'll need to walk up the stairs. Once we are inside, Scilla showed us around the uniquely decorated apartment. She even left us some snacks and drinks in the kitchen as a welcome gift.

The apartment is very spacious and is perfect for my family. There are two air conditioners both outside the bedrooms but they were powerful enough to keep the entire house, including the rooms cool during the summer.

The location was perfect as it is not too far way from tourist attractions in San Marco, but much more peaceful and less crowded. Scilla was a great host, there was even a very helpful guidebook to Venice created by Scilla herself filled with instructions on the public transport, restaurant and stores recommendations and many more.

We had a great stay at Scilla's apartment and will recommend the apartment to anyone visiting Venice looking to stay away from the crowded neighborhood of San Marco.
