The 'Cosy Nest' is really a cosy nest. It is both spacious and homely, lovingly furnished and equipped with everything that is needed for a relaxed stay in a very 'in' neighborhood (Cannaregio). And though you only have to step out of your door and onto the canal-sidewalk to find yourself in the midst of a lively gastronomic scene with bars, cafes, and little restaurants, the apartment itself is veeeery quiet, facing an inner courtyard and a garden. A supermarket (Conad) is a 10-minutes-walk away (or even less, once you know how to get there :) and the public transportation by the vaporetti or the Alilaguna boats is also only 10 minutes away.
Marco was very friendly and helpful and made us welcome, and the check-in and check-out went smoothly and we enjoyed chatting with him and hope to come back in a warmer time of the year (though Venice in winter-fog is very picturesque and we don't feel sorry for having spent New Year's Eve in this special city). So all in all we had a thoroughly enjoyable week in Venice, also thanks to Marco and his 'Cosy Nest'.
