This really is a great place to stay in the heart of venice. The hosts were not only very welcoming but also very informative from the moment we booked to arrival. We were met at the nearest boat drop-off (2 mins walk away) and given a quick history of the City, followed by a thorough tour of the apartment. It has everything you need (besides an iron) and the hosts even stocked the fridge and cupboard with croissants, yoghurts, coffee, milk etc. Very clean and central apartment off a road with designer shops, however there is no noise at night. The hosts have a background in the hospitality industry and it really shows. Would highly recommend.
