I cannot say enough nice things about our stay here. The apartment is beautiful, spacious, and well appointed. Unfortunately Andrea was away during our time in Venice, but we did have the pleasure to instead meet Daniela, who was waiting for us at the water taxi when we arrived and explained all of the details about both the house and Venice. She also had a map ready for us already marked with the location of the apartment and interesting and necessary sites, including the grocery store. This was our first experience using AirBNB, and I can't imagine ever wanting to stay in a hotel ever again. Ca'Silvana is a gem in the heart of Venice, recommended without hesitation!
