We loved our stay in San Stae! Ida and Giorgio could not have been more helpful or responsive. The apartment is great - very modern, well designed and clean - just as shown and a very nice place to wake up in and come home to after a day of sight seeing. Includes many considerate extras like maps, guide books, where to shop and eat plus coffee, oil, balsico, herbs and spices and even toiletries which were much appreciated after my shampoo was taken at the airport and the shops were all closed when we arrived late. All the little extras which make Giorgio and Ida our favorite hosts! The bed was great too. The view is private and to the street but that was fine as we did not plan to spend much time in the apartment looking out the window. The location is also excellent - very quiet street but just a short and well signed walk to the Rialto. And best of all - no stairs from the vapretto (just 20m away) to the appt - very convenient if you have big suitcases! The local area of San Polo has much to offer. We had a beautiful lunch at the recommended La Zucca - if you can only get a table inside there is a wonderful secluded table on the canal right between the bar and back room. The coop supermarket is very good, although we ate out most of the time. Highly recommend this stay!
