Diana's apartment is just the best place to start your explorations of Venice, in terms of facilities, location, and ease of communication with her. Diana is a wonderful warm and sweet host, and made us feel so welcome. Her apartment is lovely, very large and fully renovated, with every room big and bright. The facilities are second-to-none. The building and street are quiet, and yet there is a wonderfully lively Fundamento just 1 mn away, with lots of bars and restaurants, so if you arrive tired, you don't even have to go beyond your immediate area for authentic meals and atmosphere. Of course Venice is as beautiful as ever, but the fact the apartment is so near the Old Jewish Ghetto makes it an ideal starting point for your visits, as the area is so vibrant (we arrived just for Shabbat celebrations, people were dancing and singing in Campo Ghetto Nuovo!). I can't wait to be back!
