Our host Andrea was incredibly welcoming. He was at our meeting point ahead of time and gave us a great tour of the apartment - including stories about the time he spent there with his grandparents. Some of the furniture even belonged to them and has been kept and renovated beautifully. The apartment as a whole has been beautifully renovated with a great mix of old and contemporary and some lovely decorative touches. There is everything you need and more! The photos on the site are not nearly as good as the real thing! The location is ideal for exploring Venice and catching the vaporetto. There are beautiful monuments, canals, squares and quiet areas nearby and it's very easy to get around the rest of the city. Lots of great bars and restaurants close at hand too, plus a supermarket if you want to eat in.
Andrea and his family who run Lotus Apartments are available all the time if you need them. They're really great hosts and we'll be back for sure :-)
