This is a great apartment overlooking the canal - quiet at night, but as 'real' Venetians live there, lively during the day. Sofia was a very good host and had provided many personal touches. The apartment was spotlessly clean and very warm (there is also air conditioning for summer stays). In an excellent location, there are many good bars and restaurants nearby and we found that walking wherever we wanted to go was very easy. We have been to Venice several times before but this was our first Airbnb stay – we won't be going to hotels again!
