We loved staying in Silvia and Manuel's apartment. The apartment and location are lovely. The ceilings are around 25 feet high and because Silvia and Manuel are architects and obviously care a great deal about design, every detail has been lovingly and thoughtfully considered. Silvia also took time at the beginning of our stay to annotate a map with her picks of restaurants, activities, wine bars, etc. to help us avoid the tourist places and experience the best of Venice.

The other thing that made this particular apartment special for us is that it is located on a lovely piazza near an elementary school. After school hours each day it fills with school children and their parents. Our kids got to play soccer with the local kids and we got to enjoy the delightful atmosphere.

We had one or two mishaps, all of our own making (our 11-year old locked his backpack in the apt, for example.) and Silvia and Manuel were immediately responsive and helpful.

We recommend the apartment wholeheartedly.
