Stefano's apartment was the most comfortable and well appointed apartment we have stayed in to date with Airbnb! I recommend it without reservation and challenge you to fine a better location or host in all of Venice!!

Stefano kept in great touch with me before our arrival and he very kindly met me and my family as we got off the Alilaguna from the airport. From the San Marco stop the apartment is only a two minute walk. It is located off a small square with a couple of restaurants, and the entrance is from a very quiet street with no foot traffic.

The apartment is newly renovated and just beautiful. We wanted for nothing and it was so clean when we arrived my husband thought we must be the first guests to use the apartment! We cooked extensively while there to save some money. The supermarket is a short walk and there is a cart in the front entry to haul your purchases. Stefano provided all the cooking implements we needed, as well as oil, salt, pepper, coffee, sugar, balsamic, and left us a lovely gift of the typical Venetian lemon biscotti on our arrival. I was able to cook as if I were at home, and clean up was a breeze with the dishwasher, cleaning supplies, paper towels and vacuum cleaner provided. I love to keep things tidy so I truly appreciated having these things to use.

My daughter loved so much having her own room with it's own little balcony and a desk. There were so many thoughtful little details that made HER stay wonderful as well. The desk was stocked with coloring pencils and markers, paper and puzzles which she used every day. There were even some children's books on the bookshelf for her.

We all enjoyed the larger terrace and had quite a few of our meals out there. We had our coffee there in the morning, and after my daughter went to bed every night my husband and I would retire to the terrace with our wine and enjoy the wonderful atmosphere. The street under the terrace is very quiet, and in fact the whole building is so quiet, you would never know you are just a few streets away from San Marco square. Stefano and Pucci have a wonderful little garden of potted plants on the terraces and my daughter watered them faithfully every day.

Our stay in Venice was wonderful in no small part due to the incredible hospitality of Stefano and Pucci. If ever we return we will be staying with them again, and we will recommend their apartment to any of our friends or family visiting as well.
