Our family of 4 (2 adults, 11 yr old son, 15 year old girl) just stayed 5 nights in late June. Apartment is lovely - pictures are completely accurate. Francesca greeted us at the boat-took us to the apartment to show us everything and then even took us to the local store and pointed out good pizza places and gelatto that she recommended - and both well worthwhile! Kitchen was very large - great for preparing meals and eating in - all utensils and pots/pans you could need. Air conditioning worked great - and needed as the weather was hot and humid! Comfortable beds, lots of towels, even shampoo was supplied! The apartment is in a real neighborhood - away from the tourist crowds but still close enough to walk and/or use the boat/bus for transport. Our family had such a great time walking around the streets and squares and discovering Venice. I even learned how to use an espresso pot in the apartment to make a VERY good cup of espresso each morning! There was always plenty of hot water for all of us to take showers at the same time, and having two bathrooms is a lovely luxury while on vacation with children. Maurizio's instructions prior to our arrival were so detailed that we did not have any trouble getting from the plane to the boat to meet Francesca and even learned how to use the railway station from his instructions! We are looking forward to coming back to Venice and enjoying this apartment again.
