We stayed several days in September and found the apartment so very nice and to be spacious in many ways. There are many shelves and closets to store away any type of belongings you might bring. The shower is larger than any "typical" smaller Italian shower you may expect -- nice! The weather was hot at first, but Air Condition worked very well. Wi Fi was reliable. Location is fantastic -- Less than 1min walk to vaporetto stop with no stairs\bridges is convenient and somewhat atypical in Venice. The apartment is so centrally located you can find major attractions quickly yet it's a quick step away to retreat for a quiet siesta if you'd like. From the canal view and location, you can hear gondoliers singing which gives a special Venice charm.

Maurizio and Francesca were great hosts. Maurizio sent a message on our day of arrival to ensure we stay on the train to Santa Lucia train station for the water taxi even though our train ticket showed Maestre station. Francesca greeted us at the pier; texts with any questions were responded to immediately. Francesca's advice to follow locals to find great places to eat was spot-on. I suggest you just walk and walk where you'll find always quiet safe local streets, great food and wine, and wonderful views. So nice to be away from a single car or vespa engine sound!
