We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Emanuela's apartment - clean, quiet, and beautifully decorated, it was everything we had hoped for. It's location is hard to beat - central to both Rialto and Piazza San Marco, two of the top attractions in Venice. We were met by Emanuela's friend Zan, who provided us all we needed to know about the apartment and neighborhood. He offered several restaurant recommendations - we visited three of them and were rewarded with excellent cuisine and service. A few steps from the apartment is a very nice coop where we were able to stock up on goodies for breakfast and snacks. Everything considered, it was one of our favorite airbnb experiences. One note - the apartment is located on the top floor, which means climbing a few flights of stairs. To us, the climb was well worth it for the quiet ambiance and nice views it offered. Highly recommended!
