Wonderful place situated halfway down a quiet dead-end street in a quiet north-central part of Venice. One flight of stairs up to the apartment with bedroom to one side of the landing and a big living/dining/kitchen area + bathroom (with spacious open-concept tiled shower) to the other side.

Andrea was responsive and communicative leading up to our arrival and during out stay; we got to the apartment a little earlier than expected and waited a few short minutes for Andrea's assistant to arrive to let us in, but no problem. Andrea's information for getting to the apartment from airport was detailed, clear and very helpful – the place is a 7-minute walk from Ospedale vaporetto (water bus) stop with no stairs over bridges to negotiate if you are rolling your suitcase.

Very clean, comfortable and nicely-furnished apartment with a decent queen-sized bed + small daybed in the closed bedroom and a couch (which pulls out into a bed? we didn't use that...) in the living/dining area. Beautiful big dining table and well-equipped kitchen. Fantastic natural light with lots of windows at front and back of the apartment – the long row of back windows, as you can see from the pictures, looks out onto a beautiful little courtyard full of trees and chirping birds. We were there during crisp November weather so we kept the windows closed and the place has a NEST thermostat system that allowed us to control heat efficiently – you can close the door to the bedroom side of the apartment, so that room heats up nicely and fairly quickly when needed. We did pull the blankets from the daybed to add to the queen bed for extra warmth and to avoid over-using the heaters!

We stayed here as a couple and were combining home-office work schedule with sightseeing; the place was superb for that, with reliable hi-speed wi-fi, lots of space to spread out, and the ability to close off the bedroom from the rest of the apartment was a real plus. Eating breakfasts at the large wood dining table, with natural light flooding in from the back windows and a view of greenery, made for wonderful starts to the day.

Loved the location: strolled west to Cannaregio or south to San Marco in 15mins, and further south to Gallerie dell'Accademia and Guggenheim in Dorsoduro about 25mins. Very easy to use Ospedale stop to catch waterbus to get anywhere too.

Would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended.
