The apartment was perfect for my husband and our three children (two teenagers and a seven-year-old). The apartment, with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, is a great value for traveling families. The apartment is well-appointed, with a few thoughtful extras like coffee and biscuits, and is conveniently located for both an easy arrival and close proximity to major sites. We all enjoyed the view over the canal, and the ability to enjoy the local sights and sounds from a relaxing vantage point.
We arrived via a flight from New York and Alessia arranged a private water taxi transfer which eased the process. Her son, Dmitri, met us at the water taxi drop-off, walked us to the apartment, and stored our bags for the day as we had arrived several hours prior to check-in. When we returned later in the day to officially check in, Dmitri shared several restaurant recommendations that were very good and reasonably priced, and highlighted several sites on a local map that we could consider for our visit. Dmitri and Alessia were both very accommodating, ensuring that we could easily get in touch with them should we need to during our visit, and arriving early on a Sunday morning for our check out to walk us to the nearest water bus station (Giglio). They were wonderful hosts.
