This was a fantastic place to stay in Venice. This was our first time in Venice and we were very lucky to stay here away from the maddening crowds in the St. Mark’s Square area. We did venture to the touristy area 1 day and were very glad to return to Federica’s place. Having the 2 outdoor decks makes this place extra special. The apartment was also very clean and spacious. It’s also very convenient having the grocery store just downstairs and I would say that eating at the restaurant downstairs (Osteria Trefanti) was one of the better meals we had in Venice. The Tiramisu at the cafe across the canal was the best I’ve every tasted so if you are a Tiramisu fan go check it out. One last point to make is that it is a 5 minute walk to the train station so if coming or going via train it’s very convenient. I would definitely recommend Federica’s place to anyone!
