Location is everything!! In a time when tourists are everywhere, this gem of a place sits directly above the market, full of fruits and vegetables, and only a few steps from incredible cheeses, bread, and wine. This area is buzzing with local people and tourists alike and immerses you in the sights, sounds and smells of the true Venetian culture. Authentic, delicious restaurants and the famous Realto bridge are just steps away.
Frederica was fabulous. She sat down with us during check-in and genuinely welcomed us to her city and the flat. She had excellent recommendations for us and helped us so much during our stay. She was kind and available for all of our needs. She also allowed us to have a late check-out, which was really nice.
The place is magnificent! It is spacious and clean. The master bedroom was beautiful, with reading lights and a romantic chandelier. The bedroom with three bunk beds held our kids perfectly, giving them space to unload and hang out. Having two bathrooms was also a plus. We were grateful for kitchen, and ate many meals straight from the market....we loved our family feasts!
The only drawbacks were beyond their control. Do know that it is located directly above a fish market, so the smells could be strong at times. It was fine with the windows closed. Also, when we were there, the city had not put Freon in the AC, so it was warm. The sounds and smells from below didn’t allow us to leave the windows open. Frederica brought us a fan and it was much better, though the temps were in the low 80’s and I couldn’t imagine if it had been hotter.
Having said that, I would certainly recommend this place!
