Furio is such a warm host. He welcomed us with great generosity- even offering to take my heavy luggage up the stairs. The apartment was lovely with spacious rooms. You can view the canal from the room, the sitting room, the kitchen. And in the peak hours of the sun, you get some amazing sunshine right through in the master bedroom. The location is Fab!! San Marco Square is about 7 minute a walk away, Rialto about 10 minutes a walk away, and a wonderful supermarket where you get all the essentials and more being about 5 minutes a walk away. I would highly recommend this place!
