The apartment (Il Buco Della Suora) was perfect. It is a cool place in a great neighborhood, away from tourist traps but in walking distance to everything! In fact, the walks to and from the sights were some of our favorite times. I wish we could have stayed longer. It was a great place to go home to after a long day of exploring Venice. The vibe is exactly as described -- comfortable and just cool. We were there for New Year's so we did not spend much time in the court yard. I would love to go back and wander to the market, and come home and cook a wonderful Italian meal in the small but perfect kitchen!
