As you can see from all those stars this was perfect for us (family of five).

It started well with Enrico meeting us at the bus stop and escorting us to the flat. He provided a map, asked our interests and pointed out places that might suit us and advice on what to see and what's over-rated… Of immediate importance was the supermarket (which was only 5 minutes away). If it hadn't been open we'd have been OK as the flat was already well-stocked anyway (bread, tea and coffee etc). Location was good although Venice is tiny so it's difficult to imagine anywhere is bad. It's far enough (15 min) from San Marco/Rialto etc. to be quiet but close enough to be easy to get to.

As for inside… The flat was perfect for us (2 adults, 3 children). The rooms are light and airy with plenty of space for us five (there's another fold-out bed so it could squeeze in a sixth). The first thing that strikes you is the number of books - it's like living in a library - most in Italian but plenty in English (mostly on arts, politics and economics - a well-marked-up copy of The Battle For Europe by Thomas Fazi was interesting) so you don't need to bring reading material. Despite this there's still plenty of storage space for our own clothes and personal belongings. The biggest danger is you'll settle in and not want to go out.

It had all the facilities we wanted (well-equipped kitchen, TV, Hi-Fi with USB/3½mm audio input, better WiFi than we have at home...) and there's other thoughtful touches - we appreciated the plug-in insect repellent devices that were provided. The air-conditioning was more than adequate - with just one unit (there are two!) set on the lowest fan speed it was almost silent yet kept us cool overnight, though in the cool morning just opening a couple of windows will do.

As you can see this is completely positive review. To decide if a place is for us I normally read the negative reviews, and if none of the negative things bother me then I guess it's right for us. But I haven't got anything negative to say, so this review isn't as informative as it might be. I'm struggling to find anything that might bother anyone but here goes with a few things to point out, though it's all perfectly clear from the listing.
Firstly it's on the second floor. Great for us but I guess if you have a mobility issue you might not like it. Brits might be upset at the lack of a kettle (while non-Brits will have no idea why that might be a problem, or even what one is). Some might grumble about the lack of microwave though it would be a shame to clutter the kitchen with one.

Over-all this was great for us and is where we'd stay again next time we come to Venezia.
