This apartment was just great for our few days in Venice. The hospitality of Roberto and Carla was evidenced by the preparation they had done to help us. We were interested in attending the Venice Biennale and they got us plenty of brochures and handouts to help us make best use of our time. Carla welcomed us when we arrived and had provided fruits and some coffee to help us get started on our first morning.
The location of the apartment enabled us to walk easily to the vaparettos (boats) to get around Venice. We enjoyed the sound of opera music from a nearby Palazzio but only if we opened the windows; otherwise it was appropriately quiet. It is in the heart of a vibrant city so there were people walking by throughout the day. We felt totally safe.
Carla recommended a nearby restaurant which was so good we went there twice. There was a local deli / grocery store which enabled us to have dinner in the apartment one evening. Everything in the apartment worked, and we were able to use wifi to keep in touch with friends. We used the clothes washer and the line drying, the "Venetian system".
We highly recommend this apartment and would happily take the opportunity to return again.
