a perfect place to stay in venice. very well-located but sufficiently off the beaten path that it is quiet and gives you a sense of what living in venice as a local might be like. the apartment is beautiful, clean, modern and well-equipped - and that balcony and view are truly hard to beat! mariacaterina and her mother are wonderful hosts, also -- welcoming and very helpful. we had a wonderful time in venice and much of that is because of this wonderful apartment and these wonderful hosts!
