We had the most MAGICAL time in Venice and at Serena's apartment. Serena was a fantastic host. She met us upon our arrival and walked us through everything. She was very accommodating, communicated fast and really went out of her way to make our stay awesome. The apartment is as described, perfect location, beautifully redone, clean and cozy. Serena and Venice are very green conscious so we couldn't use the central heat during our stay, but there was a wall unit and extra comforter/blankets that made it comfortable and warm. As previous people have said, it is on a main square, with a bridge so there is the street noise, a bar across the street and it being an older building (all be it a BEAUTIFUL one) there was a few times you could hear noise from above at night. But none of that would stop us from absolutely recommending this place and staying there if we visited Venice again in the future. Overall - SUPER HAPPY with this apartment and Serena.
