The meeting arrangements worked fine, if delayed a little by my faulty phone, and Sandra guided us back to the apartment which was exactly as described including the stairs which were quite manageable. Being high up the flat was light and airy, and not claustrophobic.

On arrival Sandra gave us a very comprehensive description of the area, the local facilities and the attractions of Venice as a whole. Her suggestions regarding restaurants were particularly helpful and telephoning to book is no problem as the staff all speak such good english.

The flat provided everything we wanted and Sandra's breakfast provisions eliminated our need to food shop, although the existence of a really good Co-op around the corner was a comfort should we have needed to cook.

This quiet apartment is located in the narrow streets close to a local square some seven minutes in from the Rialto Bridge. We were able to get to all the parts of Venice we wished to on foot, with much pouring over the street map of course.

Ca Allegra proved ideal for our three night stay in Venice.
