I have stayed in Venice before during the summer and never thought I’d return—due to the amount of tourists and the prices. However, bringing my boyfriend here for his first time and being able to stay in this beautiful and HUGE apartment with views overlooking the canals has given Venice an entirely new meaning for me (in a great way.) The location is amazing. It was walking distance to everything and super easy to get to from the airport (one taxi and one water bus, plus a 5 min walk.) The bed was comfortable, the apartment was clean and the area quiet. The views really are spectacular and I fell in love with a cute little library cafe right around the corner called Sullaluna. Fabio was an amazing host and even gave us some great recommendations/tips. He was always available for anything we might need. Carnival costumes and festivities made it an even more magical time and place to be.
