Our family of four had a great stay at this apartment in July. Dimitri and Valentina were excellent hosts and their communication was very good, from making driver and water taxi arrangements from the airport, greeting us at the water taxi dock near the apartment, carrying our luggage up the (many) flights of stairs to the apartment, and helping with restaurant recommendations and reservations. The apartment was just as represented in the photos, with interesting antique decor and modern bathrooms, and the view overlooking a canal with gondolas passing below was charming. It was hot during our visit and the AC in the bedrooms worked well, although no AC in the living room/kitchen. The location was great, just a short walk from St. Mark's Square and the Rialto Bridge. We highly recommend this apartment and would visit again.
