Roberto and his assistant were most welcoming and helpful. We had a party of 8 and were assisted from the moment of our arrival. The accommodations were elegant, well appointed and centrally air conditioned, which was most welcome since the heat in Venice was nearly insufferable. The kitchen was well equipped and easy to use and led directly to a lovely outdoor dining area which was unfortunately underused because of the heat. The apartment was located in its own neighborhood, with a nearby food market, several excellent restaurants and a number of shops. St. Marks and other landmarks were a relatively short walk away. Our stay was most pleasant and we would highly recommend this apartment.
