This place was fantastic. Location couldn't be better; you can see the Rialto right across the street from the window. We ended up spending some of our downtime just watching the Grand Canal from the window seat, it's a beautiful view. Venice was having a bit of a heat wave while we were there but the A/C held up. It was nice to be able to go inside after a day of exploring to take a breath. Tons of room, clean place.
Ilaria was an amazing host.
She set up our water taxi, met us at the dock, and showed us the place. She spent a bunch of extra time with us giving us recommendations about places to go and to eat. She also made herself available if we needed help while we were in Venice. Our stay was definitely improved due to her efforts.
One of her tips was to go to the restaurant down in the courtyard below the apartment. The staff there was really great, and having a good restaurant right at your doorstep is super convenient too.
The only drawback is that it's 4th floor walk-up (esp. with suitcases) but as I understand it, that's par for the course in this city. Next time I'm in Venice, I'd definitely look into staying there again.
