We absolutely loved staying here. Our host meet us at the ferry and guided us to to and through the apartment. He went out of his way to provide us with accurate and relevant information for our stay in Venice. The apartment was flawless which I have not seen anywhere in Italy before. We own a building company and can tell you that the recent renovation has been finished extremely well. Beds were comfortable, nice linen, everything was clean, shower was good. This was my 4th visit to Venice and I hadn't stayed in this area before but it is great. It is close to the very touristy areas but its in a local Venetian neighbourhood. I will stay there again.
