We had a truly wonderful experience. We visited Venice over Christmas and found the city truly enchanting. Rodolfo's apartment exceeded expectations -- there were 6 of us and we all had plenty of comfortable space. The apartment was decorated in a lovely style. The bathrooms and kitchen were modern and easy to use. There was PLENTY of hot water for everyone and the water pressure was pretty good. The main living room was very comfortable for relaxing in the evening. The apartment was located in the Cannareggio district, which was away from the crowds and yet a short walk to everything we wanted to see. Our directions from the airport were clear and concise, and we were met by Fillippo (Rodolfo's nephew), a charming and helpful gentleman who directed us to some very good neighborhood restaurants. In particular I want to mention that my daughter needed medical attention during our stay, and Fillippo answered my frantic text within 2 minutes and gave me much-needed information as to where to go and what to do. I can't thank him enough for that. As an aside, I want to mention that the view of the island of Murano from the window in the morning was beautiful. The panettone left for us was delicious, as was the prosecco. On the day of our checkout, we were taking a night train, and we were allowed to remain in the apartment until close to our train departure time. An excellent and very memorable experience for everyone!!!!
