Though we never met Andrea in person check in was extremely easy. The apartment is absolutely stunning. It is dinged and scratched here and there but the total effect of the apartment with its 1970s Italian vibe is incredible. The pictures don’t do it justice; the kitchen and bedroom are spacious, bathroom beautiful, many places to sleep many people very comfortably. Lots of light and air. The terrace is INCREDIBLE. It gets straight sun the majority of the day with beautiful plants and gardens left and right and two very important churches on either side in the distance. The location is absolutely perfect - 10 minutes to Rialto San Marco or Strada Nuova, easy links to the airport by boat. It is extremely central but far removed away from hordes of tourists. I’ve been coming to Venice many times every year since 2011 and can say that this has been the most impressionable and beautiful space I’ve ever stayed in.
