Venice can be quite a maze especially for first time visitors like me, but thankfully Aria and Luca provided clear directions via email before my arrival. And just like any typical Venetian alleys, the alley seemed quite secluded and narrow at first... but stepping into the apartment, it is very cosy, thoughtfully decorated, and impeccably clean! And actually about 10 steps from the right of the apartment, is already a busy street with shops, eateries, and there are a few supermarkets around the area and the major attractions are within walking distance. Upon arrival, Aria also gave me a nice introduction to the facilities, and even recommendation for good pizza and pasta. I really enjoyed the breakfast spread prepared by Aria & Luca - juices, coffee & tea, bread, pastries, fruit etc. Thank you both for the wonderful stay!
