This is a charming and funky loft in the Castello neighbourhood of Venice. There are views from the windows in all four directions. Since it is at the top of a 5 story building, it is wonderfully quiet. We were met by Giovanna (a colleague of Catarina's).
She was very nice and helpful and gave us some terrific restaurant recommendations that only a local can provide. I highly recommend this studio apartment. One thing to remember is that there are a lot of stairs to climb and no elevator , so be warned if you are a heavy packer.
