We absolutely loved our stay at Irene's apartment. It was a perfect location, close to the bus/taxi station; train station and canal water buses. It was also in a great, safe, family friendly neighborhood, with cafes and shops within easy walking distance. At night it was quiet and restful. The apartment itself is very clean and spacious; and is exactly as described. The bedrooms were large; the kitchen and living room were an open floor plan. The kitchen had all of the basic supplies which we used since we ate breakfast every morning at the apartment. It also has a bonus: a small private courtyard where we were able to have our coffee in the morning and our wine at night. I would also like to mention the care and attention that Irene showed us. Not only was she kind enough to meet us at the train station for the short trip to the apartment, but she spent time with us making sure she answered any questions we had as well as giving us helpful hints about getting around Venice. She even helped us by pointing out specific activities that we were excited to do and marking them on a map. She really made a difference and made us feel so welcome that I would not hesitate to come back to this apartment if I should ever return to Venice. I would strongly recommend that if you are looking for a place to spend a few days in Venice where you wanted to be treated as "familia" that you definitely stay at Irene's apartment.
