Wow! What a view and what an apartment! This was hands down my favorite AirBnB I’ve ever stayed in. Michela and Jacopo were amazing, helping us find the place, suggesting good places to eat, leaving out toys and a nice crib for our daughter, and helping us schedule a water taxi to pick us up right at the apartment.
The apartment is amazing, with many beautiful original architectural details in the building. It was clean, safe, easy to find, and wonderful for a family of two adults and a toddler. It was also very close to Theatro La Fenice for when we wanted to go to the Opera and a short 5 or 7 minute walk to St Mark’s Square, but removed enough that we didn’t have to deal with the hordes of tour groups and cruise ship passengers all day long.
The view in itself is what makes this apartment worthwhile. After spending a few days in Venezia, I believe there is no better view in all of Venezia. The view of the Grand Canal and Rialto Bridge was mesmerizing. Not even the Aman across the canal (a 7 star resort) has a better view because they can’t see the Rialto Bridge from their vantage point. My daughter and I sat by the windows for hours, just watching all the boats and gondolas go by, which was wonderful entertainment for a toddler, and my wife and I loved sitting on the dock in the evening with an Aperol Spritz and bottle of wine.
If you are reading this review, I want you to book this place, because I want you to have the same amazing experience in Venezia that my family did. This place is a once in a lifetime stay in one of the most beautiful cities in the world with probably the best view. Our only regret is that we didn’t stay longer (2 nights was all too short). Thank you again Michela and Jacopo for letting us stay in such an amazing apartment!
