This apartment is absolutely perfect for a short stay in Venice. It is modern and recently renovated (in very good taste). It is within a 15 min walk to the tourist areas of the city, but located in a residential area which gives you a sense of how locals live. This also gave us the benefit of several excellent restaurants at a reasonable price. Michela and Vincenzo were outstandingly gracious hosts. The had taken great pains to ensure that we were comfortable (even putting extra stair gates, and purchasing a bed for our toddler). They also provided several excellent tips for local restaurants, wine shops and supermarkets that we as tourists would never have discovered on our own. We were delighted with our stay, and would not hesitate to take up this place on our next visit.
