Thanks to Carlo and his helpful friendly cousin’s husband who met us on arrival and took us to the property giving us some useful tips on nearby sights and good local places to eat etc. We took him up on one of his suggestions and went twice to the nearby restaurant which we liked a lot. Also very handy is the small supermarket which is two minutes from the flat. The apartment itself is very attractive – I think it seemed slightly bigger than it appears in the pictures. It’s well equipped and we cooked on several nights of our stay. The sitting area is a pleasant place to sit in the evening and it was nice to stand on the balcony in the morning and look down on the canal. And very important, the beds were comfortable! The apartment is well located, near to a vaporetto stop and easy to get to all the sights - we’d recommend it as an excellent base for a stay in Venice.
