Our family (two adults and one toddler) had a great stay at Roberta's place. The apartment is thoughtfully laid out with plenty of space. The location is right in the thick of the tourist fray (but, then again, so is most of Venice), and this attribute makes it very central for exploring all of the city, both famous (San Marco Square) and farflung (Sant'Elena and the Biennale areas). Lastly, the views from the window are almost surreal - a quiet canal and two of Venice's iconic bridges literally out of the window. My little one delighted in waving to the gondolas as they glided by. Roberta is a responsive and helpful host and I recommend her home wholeheartedly.
