The apartment was a gem. Location location location! It was very near the S.M. Novella train station and also a water bus station so it was so easy to access the city. What made this place extra special though is how it was secluded from the tourist areas where it gets really crowded and noisy. Check-in and check-out was easy. Paolo even prepared a guide with useful tips and maps. We had our 6-year old daughter travelling with us and she loved the apartment as well. Out of the three Italian cities that we visited, we enjoyed Venice the most partly because we had a great apartment that we went home to after a very tiring day.
