Serena is the best host and the apartment is perfect. It has everything to enjoy a comfortable stay. The location is away from the touristy crowds and in a locals neighborhood with good food and drinks. The canal view from the little balconies is a great place to relax after the long day of sightseeing. The two minute ride in the public water bus is easy and drop off in the middle of Venice. Serena's hospitality, kindness and excellent communication helped make this visit the best. Will definitely return.
