This is a spacious, beautiful flat in the heart of the less-touristy part of Venice. The style and furnishings are old-fashioned and ornate (rose-colored moire wallpaper--kewl!), with some fine wood pieces and lots of glass lamps and high ceilings. The kitchen is well-equipped although some of the wood cabinets were a bit tricky to open, and there is a grocery store just around the corner. If you want a quieter area where people actually live, this is the place. Lorenzo is an excellent host. Recommended!
