This is surely one of the best apartments in the whole of Venice. It is located only a short walk from the train station. The host Ivan's communication was superb, and he arranged to meet with us near the station to show us the way to the apartment. He was extremely welcoming, speaking excellent English and giving us a brief tour of the area before showing us up to the flat.
It is well situated overlooking a small square in Cannaregio. There are shops, supermarkets, loads of restaurants and some great bars and cafés all within a couple of minutes walking distance . It's also well located for transport links.
The flat itself is on the top floor of a quiet residential building. It is beautifully decorated and furnished in a very distinctive and interesting manner. We loved admiring all the knick knacks Ivan has collected over the years. The place was spacious and comfortable. It was clean and all the amenities promised were there.
Ivan was incredibly generous in leaving us a well stocked fridge as well! He gave us a tour of the flat and also gave us some great suggestions of local places to eat. Our favourite was Al Timon.
We couldn't have been happier with the apartment and would definitely recommend it to anyone. When we inevitably return to Venice in the future it will be our first choice.
