I must say that the host was amazing, the room was perfect and the location couldn't be better. Let me start with the host, Guigi is a very nice girl, she made sure we were comfortable at all times. She offered towels, water, snacks and even breakfast so we were thrilled by her great personality and warmth. The room is what you see in the picture, is very ample (unlike NYC rooms), the bed was very comfortable, and although hardly to see in the pictures, the window have shutters outside that when closed you would never see daylight, this means they have a great blackout treatment. The bathroom is also huge, there is even a bidet (very normal in Italy), the shower had hot water, a hair dryer, and like I said, towels were provided as well as toiletries, nothing fancy but exactly what's needed. As for the location, we couldn't ask for a better place. It's 2 minutes from Rialto but it's off the main street, which means you don't get the hustle and bustle right at the door. There is canal in the back next to the bathroom window so you may hear "HOY!!" once in while from the gondola's riders! pretty cool! My husband and I were amazed by this place and would definitely go back.

There are two things I have to advise people: 1. there is a church next to it so it's normal to hear the bells at 9:30am. For us was fine because that was our alarm to get up and go, otherwise we would've slept until 12pm in such comfortable bed. and 2. the apartment is on the 6th floor and there is no elevator, so I advise you to pack light which we did and it was perfectly fine.

In conclusion, my husband and I had a great time, got to spend time with Guigi and her boyfriend which was the best because they gave us great advise on local places to eat and sightseeing. We spent New Years Eve with them until it was time to go to St. Marcos but they took care of us in the nicest way possible.

They and this place is highly recommended!
