There are so many great things to say about this place that I’m not sure where to start. The location is prime for tourism: a short walk from high-end shopping and Piazza San Marco; gondola station right down stairs; a great veranda for experiencing the Venetian sunset over the roof-tops; decor that leveraged the family history...it goes on.
Dimitri was always quick to respond. Messaging through the app was as fast as texting. He set my family up with transfers to and from the rail station easily, and rode with us both ways to make sure we were taken care of. Based on the number of people he waved to on the way, I’m guessing he’s an unofficial mayor!
We arrived early, during the apartment sanitization for COVID, but Dimitri stores our luggage for us. Then he showed us some local bars and restaurants around the area that got us away from the tourist spots that serve really terrible food, and so we ate nothing but great food in Venice.
On arrival, I was fascinated with the decor, and Dimitri indulged me and spoke of his family’s history in Venice, the history of the apartment, and the special touches they added to the place to make it feel warm and welcoming.
I’d go back in a second. Thanks so much for a great trip, Dimitri!
