This was our 2nd visit to Venice & our 2nd stay in this apartment.

It is in an excellent location no more than 30 metres from the DiGiglio water bus/Alilaguna stop (with no bridges to cross), a short walk to St Marks square, Rialto bridge, bars, restaurants, gondola rides etc. But it is also very quiet & private & great for a good sleep in. Also, as the apartment is located on a canal, you get serenading gondoliers going past the apartment each day which is just wonderful.

The hosts are very welcoming - Maurizio provides you with all the information you will need prior to your visit, & is very prompt with responding to any questions you may have.

Francesca meets you at the water bus stop, walks you to the apartment, provides you with maps & other info, and even walks with you to the supermarket if needed. A godsend for any 1st time visitor.

The apartment is spacious, spotless, very comfortable & stocked with excellent coffee, salt, pepper, cooking oil, sugar, clothes washing liquid for the washing machine etc - not many hosts do this. Even the modem is portable so you can take it with you when you go out.

We have nothing but praise for Maurizio & Francesca, they have done a great job with the apartment, are lovely hosts, and we will stay with them again on our next visit. We would not consider staying anywhere else.
