Everything about this place was wonderful. Flavia was great at communicating with us along the way, and welcomed us in person when we arrived. She's fantastic: a warm and friendly host! They even had snacks and champagne waiting for us!

The apartment itself was incredible. It's newly-renovated, and all the appliances are state-of-the-art. The main door had an automatic lock, and there were automatic light-blocking shades for the bedroom windows. The apartment was modern, clean and had everything we needed. My wife said it felt like being in a "boutique hotel," and had tears in her eyes when she saw the place.

It was within a 10-minute walk to St. Mark's Square and the Rialto Bridge, but still outside of the hustle and bustle of the main tourist sections. So, even though we could get everywhere by foot, it was still quiet enough to get some rest as well.

If we ever come back to Venice, we are definitely staying here again!
