This apartment was incredible!! First of all we were met at the boat by Francesca who was so welcoming! Second, the apartment was exactly 45 steps from the boat stop. So convenient at all times and especially when we left for airport. No lugging baggage through streets. Francesca went above and beyond giving us helpful information and directions. She is so full of life-we really enjoyed meeting her! She also provided some breakfast goodies. Then, she walked us to the grocery store so we could stock up and begin to find our way around. We are definitely renting this apartment again when we come back to Venice. It is so quiet with just the sounds of gondoliers passing by the small canal outside the living room and bedroom windows. AC and wifi provided. Gorgeous decor (fabulous shower) immaculately clean. We simply loved it!
