We loved our stay here. Beatrice was a wonderful host, escorting us from the waterbus stop, and then being very accommodating afterwards. The apartment is as described, very comfortable and well-equipped. The porch on the canal is priceless -- we enjoyed chatting with the gondoliers and their passengers as they paddled by. The neighborhood is great -- very quiet, yet close to Rialto Bridge. A bakery, a fine restaurant -- Ostaria Boccadoro -- a glassmaker, a fishmonger, are all within a few steps. Yet the place is tucked away down an alley and so is very quiet and un-touristy. 5 stars, we would definitely stay here again.
