To start with: strongly recommended! :D. With my two kids I spent three days at Silvia's, and everything was just perfect (to our taste). To get to know Venice, beautiful and special as it is, this flat was a perfect place to be - real close to the Start Lucia train station (we arrived and left by train), in the middle of Cannaregio, close to Rialto, St Marco... it was a great starting point and a safe harbour to for all our explorations. The flat was as cozy, as comfortable as we needed it to be; the kitchen not too spacious, but equipped with everything you might need to prepare a decent meal, with little details that make the difference - Silvia took good care for us to feel just at home. It's not one of those super-modern flats with huge tv-screens, high-tech gadgets, fancy paintings on the walls, but we liked it just the way it was - clean, simple, warm, well-thought, perfectly situated, and with Silvia (and Roberta) fast to reply, and always ready to be of assistance. thumb up!
