We chose this apartment for the location on the canal, the aesthetics and the many, many positive reviews arrays received. We were immediately impressed with Riccardo’s kindness in meeting us at the Vaporetto stop to show us the way to the apartment. Venice can feel very maze-like to newcomers, so this additional touch was very much welcomed. He then took us through the apartment, explaining everything we needed to know and provided us with a bit of context about the city. The location itself was fantastic! It was easy to get to the Rialto Bridge and St Mark’s Square. If you get lost on your map, there is great signage everywhere to guide you. We enjoyed the early morning and late night views of the canal from the balcony! The apartment itself is very tasteful and very clean. All appliances worked properly and the gas stovetop was appreciated as we were able to easily cook a nice meal and really feel like we “lived” there, if only for a couple of days. The breakfast buns, water, milk and jam provided in anticipation of our 1st morning needs were all very thoughtful as well. I was very satisfied with my selection of this apartment for the Venice portion of our trip. The hosts are professional and kind, making the experience al that more enjoyable. I would highly recommend this apartment to all considering it!
