This apartment was perfect for our family of 5. The location was great because it was quiet but only steps from the activity and shops and sites of Venice. Calliope and her husband met us at the water bus stop and walked us to the apartment, not more than 5 minutes away. They gave us tips on what to see and do while in Venice, pointed out restaurants and grocery stores as well as how to use the public transit (boats). They very generously provided us with food for breakfast and pasta for another meal as well as milk, juice, coffee and water. The apartment was spacious enough for us, the air conditioning such a relief since the temperature was in the mid 30's. We would gladly stay here again anytime. Don't miss out on this gem.
