Large bright apartment in Cannaregio. The neighbourhood is quaint and has everything you need - bars, restaurants, Conad less than 5 minute walk away. Less crowded than other areas of Venice but within 5-10 minutes you are back in the middle of the action. Great option for families.
Check-in was smooth - we were met at the front door as soon as we arrived. Massimo was a lovely host and quirky responsive to all requests. We queried about the best boat/gondola tour and he provided to us in person at 1/2 the price of a service. It was a lovely leisurely float through the canals at sunset.
Grazie Massimo!
