Wow! We've been traveling all over Italy for the past two weeks, and this flat has been one of our favorites so far. Paolo and Riccardo were the kindest, most gracious hosts. They were communicative ahead of time, provided clear directions, and were even waiting for us at the pier when we arrived by water bus. They greeted us warmly and helped us carry our bags back to the flat. This was very helpful, because otherwise we may have gotten lost on Venice's tiny streets. :) The flat itself was traditionally decorated and spotlessly clean, with thoughtful amenities and a warm feeling. The location was wonderful. It was easy to walk to any of the major tourist attractions, but what we liked best was being on a smaller "street" that was tucked away from the tourist crowds. With Paolo and Riccardo's personal welcome, we felt like we got a small taste of "real" Venice. Don't hesitate to book this flat. It's wonderful!
