My mother and I stayed at Lidia's apartment for our recent trip to Venice and could not have been more pleased. The apartment is beautifully decorated, spacious and well appointed. The apartment was immaculately clean and well styled and added a touch of luxury to our trip. Also, the shower has excellent water pressure and that makes such a difference!
Lidia herself is warm and communicative. She was really proactive in answering questions both prior to and during the trip and provided a personal welcome to Venice, meeting us at the boat stop and helping us navigate to the unit while providing suggestions and tips about the neighborhood.
The unit is just a few blocks from the Rialto bridge, and everything is walkable with plenty of food and shopping in the streets surrounding. The cost of the location is the noise: I recommend bringing ear plugs-- the large bedroom is street facing and particularly on the weekends the street was loud late into the night. The only other thing to be aware of in planning is that guests are responsible for bringing trash to the nearby market for disposal. Not really a big deal, but requires an element of planning as different items go out different days. Lidia has left very clear and easy instructions but we found it was one thing to work into our plans, particularly around leaving early our final morning.
Overall, I can't say enough positive things about Lidia and her apartment. You won't be disappointed with the stay, and I highly recommend spending time there during your Venice stay.
