This apartment was absolutely wonderful. Lydia was a pleasure to work with prior to our stay, and her concierge Roberto was awesome! We were a large group that arrived at two different times, but Roberto didn't hesitate to meet with both groups. The apartment was exactly as described - spacious and beautiful. There was plenty of room to gather together, and the main lounge was nice and sunny. The kitchen was well appointed, and we appreciated having all the tools we needed if we wanted to have our meals at home. The location was perfect for walking all around Venice, and it was so convenient to have a vaporetto stop practically outside the door. Getting from the airport to the apartment was super easy, and getting around the city by water was as well since the stop was right there. We didn't use the terrace much since it was so hot during our stay, but the views from there were fabulous. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lydia's apartment to anyone, and we would happily stay there again if we return to Venice some day.
