This was a great renting expierience, from correspondence with Fulvia to being recieved and staying at the apartment. We were given very detailled instructions on how to get to the apartment (which is very close to the train station). When we arrived (a little early) Fulvia invited us into her home where she welcomed us with a fresh coffee and provided us with a map and a wealth of local knowledge.
We decided to go out for a stroll while we waited for the apt to be cleaned and we quickly realized what a great location we had chosen - so close to everything but yet such a quiet and tranquil area. When we returned to the apartment our jaws literally dropped - what a beautiful and well decorated apartment. The warmth of the apartment and Fulvia's care and attention in explaining everything to us had us feeling really at home. She is a lovely woman, and had wine, water, and cookies waiting for us.
We loved exploring Venice, which we did every day, but we both felt that it was difficult to leave the apartment in the morning because it was just so comfortable and homey. I could literally have relaxed on the couch all day admiring the antiques and listening to the sounds of the boats on the canal going about thier business. The canal views are actually quite spectacular and we both loved just standing in the windows admiring the view.
If you are planning to visit Venice do not overlook this apartment. It is extremely well equipped, impeccably managed, and very well located.
Fulvia, when we cone back to Venice with our kids in a few years we will definitely be back. We loved our time at your apartment!
