Great place! Easy check in - Esmeralda's sister met us at the vaporetto station, gave us an overview of the place, provided maps and and gave us helpful hints like where to go for dinner and where to find the supermarket which were appreciated. There apartment was very clean and tastefully decorated. It was quiet and peaceful (and cooled by air con - important in August!) as well as centrally located and easily walkable. There was a big selection of guidebooks to use - a pleasant surprise - as well as kitchen basics (coffee, spices, etc), and Italian espresso maker. Some breakfast essentials had also been provided - a thoughtful touch. We (a family of 4) were very comfortable there....Wholeheartedly recommend and would definitely stay again!
