The host was extraordinarily welcoming. Silvia and her husband met us at the closest canal station and helped with luggage to the apartment. They took great care in showing and explaining everything we might need to know and more. The apartment was more beautiful than the photos and the hosts were more than generous with what they stocked the fridge and cupboards with. They passed on many recommendations for restaurants, shopping and excursions which enhanced our experience greatly. The neighbourhood was perfect, being 10 mins walk from St Mark's square, everything was in easy access but it's location afforded it a peaceful quietness. We felt very spoiled to be able to enjoy such creative and beautiful surroundings in a cleverly designed apartment, owned by exceptionally kind people.
