This apartment is beautiful. We wish we owned it or could find another one like it!
Everything one person or a couple could need for a short stay in Venice is all there in such a small space. It's beautifully designed and the way Giovanna has decorated and cares for the space is brilliant. The bed is super comfortable, the bathroom is lovely and I love that fact that a space of less than 10 square metres contains entrance hall, kitchenette, study and lounge room. Brilliant design! (Ok, I exaggerate, you can't call it a lounge room. If you want to lounge, you'll use the bed.) I also think it's great that there is no TV. You don't need a TV - you're in Venice!
Disclaimer: we stayed two nights and didn't cook. I'm sure you could cook a simple meal (and Giovanna even provides pasta and other essentials) but if you're planning to come back from the Rialto fish market, loaded up with beautiful fresh ingredients and cook up a feast, this may not be the kitchen for you!
The apartment is in a nice quiet location far from the maddening crowd but, there are cafes and restaurants and a great bakery nearby, and it's still only an easy stroll through the calli to the touristy parts of the city. Plus, and this is an absolute bonus, it's only 30 metres to a vaporetto stop. So I'm wondering if there's a better location in Venice!
Giovanna was an amazing host. She put herself out to be there to greet us when we arrived (earlier than the stipulated time), gave us good advice about the area and made herself available if we needed assistance. Which we didn't because she has thought of everything.
We couldn't have asked for more. So long as there's no more than two of us, I'll never stay anywhere else in Venice! If you are on your own or a couple, this apartment is perfect.
