We'd loved our first visit to Venice. It was a treat to my Mom from my brother and me. The flat was perfect - three bedrooms, clean, modern, great and light living space, an amply equipped kitchen (though we ate out at the excellent local restaurants most meals). The flat is also perfectly located near the Rialto (< 5 mins walk), and a 15 mins walk from ANYWHERE you'd want to go in Venice. The waterbus stops are nearby too. The fruit and fish markets are close by and fun. There are many cafes and reasonably priced and non-touristy restaurants. Riccardo and Chiara are great hosts too. Riccardo met us and showed us around, both were available by text, but then they left us alone. We would thoroughly recommend Venice, this location, this apartment and Riccardo and Chiara. Great stay - many thanks! Dek Woolfson
