This apartment was wonderful place to stay in the middle of Venice. It was conveniently located and only a short walk from most of the tourist sights and quite central. The directions given to find the apartment were excellent and easy to follow, we didn't get lost which in Venice is quite an achievement! Signora Pasti (Francesca's mother) was most helpful with information about Venice, places to eat, places to visit and how to get to the airport when we left. The garden was a pleasant retreat to escape from the crowds, to simply eat breakfast or relax. The apartment and kitchen is well equipped, it was just like a home away from home. The air-conditioning was a welcome relief from the summer heat.There was a selection of ingredients to prepare a meal if you arrived late which was most welcoming. We were two couples and the two bedrooms afforded a high level of privacy. Staying in this apartment made visiting Venice a pleasure.
