Spent 5 nights at Blue on Venice in May 2014. Apartment is exactly as described! It is spacious and in pristine condition...lovely, quality furnishings. Sometimes units are not as they appear in photos, but this one is...no trick photography.

We were met by Francesca's mother (lives downstairs) who thoroughly showed us around. She ignored our pleas that we didn't speak Italian, but we understood most of what she said, anyway. She was very charming and sweet. We didn't need any assistance during our stay, but I'm sure she would have been pleased to help in any way.

There are lovely views out of the windows, different from every room. Note that the unit is on the 3rd floor, with no elevator (which is also why you have such a spectacular view). There is a restaurant nearby that can be quite noisy with diners/drinkers, but not after midnight. If not familiar with Venice, you should know that addresses are not as they are in other cities. Numbers continue up and down in order, but not are not confined to "streets".

A perfect choice for anyone that wants to experience Venice without being confined to a hotel room ... and at an excellent price considering it is much more comfortable than any hotel. Thank you Francesca for taking such care in producing this magical home. I hope to stay again and will recommend it to friends!!!
