Our first stop in Italy was Venice and we are glad we chose Nicola’s apartment. Nicola’s communication was great and the directions were very helpful. The proximity of the apartment couldn’t be better. It is very secluded and quiet yet right in the middle of everything. There is a little shop outside the courtyard where we had our coffee each morning. There is also a restaurant for a good meal just after you arrive after 40 hrs of travel. The apartment is very comfortable. It has a good kitchen, bathroom, washing machine and was very clean. Highly recommended.
