Silva's place was just perfect for us. Silva was a kind and generous hostess and communication was very prompt, clear and helpful. Her assistant that met us at the vaporetto stop was also very courteous, informative and kind. The location is ideal-- easy to access, just enough off the beaten path that it wasn't loud or very crowded, but close enough that it is easy to get to the main tourist attractions and anything else you would want to do in Venice. The apartment was clean and cozy. Overall, we were very pleased with our stay and would highly recommend Silva's place to anyone visiting Venice.
