This is such a special place to stay in, truly a home away from home. The apartment is so thoughtfully and beautifully decorated in traditional Venetian style, yet has the modern day comforts (great bathroom and comfortable bed). The location is superb, as it is away from the crazy tourist crowd,safe, and peaceful. Irene as a host has taken care of all the details, making sure that our stay in Venice is a great one. I've not met a host who has offered to pick us up from the train station before, so kudos to that Irene! A true gem and definitely worth paying for.
