What a beautiful place to stay in beautiful Venice! After a minor hiccup with our check in (we had to wait a bit to meet Silvia’s assistant - who was very nice and apologetic!), we followed her to the spacious apartment, with balcony and canal view (from the living room). The only things that proved challenging from our stay were the ceiling height for my 6’2 husband, and the lack of operational elevator (but we are better for conquering the extra steps). The location could not be beat, with easy walking to the water taxi, San Marco, Rialto Bridge, etc. We also took advantage of the proximity to the grocery store Punto Simply for easy breakfasts and snacks, and appreciated all the restaurant recommendations. Pro tip: eat takeaway pizza and drink wine on the balcony as the sun sets — so worth it! :)
