We had an amazing time staying here in Venice. We walked into the unit which is actually nicer than shown in the pictures (which is unusual!) we could not contain our excitement as Barbara showed us around and even took the time to show us the local market and restaurants which are all just a few minutes walk away. The kitchenette is perfect for breakfast and we even cooked pasta for dinner two of our four nights we stayed here. The location is perfect, close to the train station and a vaporetto stop yet not in the middle of the tourists hoards. The house has great views out of the windows of gondolas passing by and a great patio in the back to enjoy warm weather. The furnishings of the unit are all designer and the nicest we have ever seen in a rental unit. They even provided coffee and pasta for you to use free of charge which was a nice touch. We can't say enough good things about this place and would choose this over a hotel in Venice any day. Look no further and book this place before some other lucky person books the dates you want!!!!
