If you are going to Venice, and if you want to stay on the island, you will not find a better place than this one. We were a group of 10 family members, ages 13 to 68, and stayed in two apartments. I would recommend these apartments if only for the convenience. It is only a few blocks from the train station, with no stairs, and in a neighborhood with great restaurants and shopping. When you're hauling luggage, this is a plus. But in addition, the apartments are stunning. Top of the line modern appliances with old world charm. It is a beautiful blend of both. Our first thought after arriving was that we all wished we had planned more time in Venice just to enjoy the place. Simone was right on time, attentive and full of information. You won't find better.
