Paolo & Barbara were both fantastic hosts. Lots of contact prior to our arrival and then met us at the Alilugana stop St Stae, the apartment was only an easy 5 min walk.
The photos don't do this apartment justice, it has been renovated to the highest standard with very good quality fixtures and fittings. The kitchen is well stocked with a Nespresso machine and chilled prosecco as well as biscuits, jams, butters and pastas.
Both bathrooms again were immaculate with good quality showers, towels were soft and 3 sizes and shampoos
The outlook is just magical with shutters open and boats and gondolas drifting past, I can't understand why anyone would use a stuffy hotel when you can have a suite!!!
I can really recommend the fish market on Friday and Saturday, my wife and I are very keen cooks and with food this fresh on your doorstep it would have criminal not to have indulged.
Every day we wondered around and went on various boat trips (3 day pass for the Vaporetto is 40€, we explored the other islands and it's so much fun just driving around on them.
We had some fantastic food out and used Tripadvisor a lot, we didn't find Venice that expensive as we just kept our wits about and didn't eat on my tourist areas.....
We can't recommend this apartment enough and we will definitely use it again. It's close enough to be near the tourist attractions but you feel like you're experiencing the real Venice
