Our family of 4 (13 yo + 8 yo) loved our apartment in Venice. One of the main reasons we booked was because it had a very small balcony overlooking a canal, and it did not disappoint. I loved having my morning coffee there and our 8 yo daughter loved sitting on the balcony and watching life in the city. The kids also loved that we actually were able to watch a movie in the apartment, after being in Italy for 3 weeks with really no TV. The restaurant below the apartment--Casa Bonita--was very good and is a local spot. I had difficulty booking for our 1st night and Martin was kind enough to book for us. We liked it so much that we booked it again for our last night in Venice. Also, Alessia met us at the apartment to give us a tour and provide us with recommendations. She also helped us book our water taxi to the airport. Overall, a great experience and great apartment!
