Flavia's apartment in Cannaregio is a diamond in the jewel box of Venice. The canal location is quiet, the apartment elegant, beautifully appointed, comfortable and came with the wonderful Signora Lionella, a fantastic receptionist. She met us at the waterbus stop in the rain, took us to the apartment, filled us with local information and graciously answered all our questions. I have stayed in the city twice before in Cannaregio and this is now THE place to stay in Venice for us.
