The apartment was spacious, impeccably clean, and very comfortable. It does look like the photos, which is not always the case (so we were very pleased)! It's location was great- out of the hustle and bustle, but close enough to easily walk to Garibaldi Street (and all of its lovely shops and restaurants), the water bus stops, the Biennale Park and St. Mark's Square. We got lots of help with navigating the city, places to see, how to use the water bus system, etc. Our host has us work with a representative who was always quick to answer any question I had throughout our stay. The beds/pillows/ furniture were all very comfortable and we slept well. The kitchen was well-stocked and we utilized the refrigerator, as well as the stove (to make coffee and heat up leftovers). There are 2 grocery stores nearby so you can easily pick up items you may want/need, including foods for breakfast or lunch and wine/beer/Prosecco! We enjoyed trying out all the nearby restaurants and gelato shops and I even purchased some nice souvenirs there. As it was very hot and humid during our stay, we enjoyed the air conditioning a lot! I would recommend staying at Claudia's place---it is like being in a home, not a hotel! We loved calling this our 'home base'!
