We loved staying at Horatio's apartment. There were six adults in our group and we all enjoyed the accommodations. We took a boat taxi from the airport, and Horatio had arranged for someone who was very patient and kind, to meet us at our stop. This was extremely helpful since our plane had arrived over an hour late on a dark and stormy night.
There was a list of recommended restaurants a short distance from the apartment, along with directions to a grocery store and other useful information. We were very hungry and tired when we arrived so we decided to cook in the apartment and found the kitchen well stocked. We also chose this apartment because it had a washer AND dryer. Experience has taught us to pack light when traveling and plan on washing clothes, so this apartment worked out perfectly.
The location of the apartment was perfect! We were able to walk to all the areas we wanted to visit. we also enjoyed the fact that the apartment was in a location that let us though interesting narrow streets and gave us a different experience of Venice than if you would stay in a hotel on a main street. Venice has many tourist areas, but "off the beaten path" is a whole different Venice which we really enjoy.
All of us highly recommend Horacio's apartment!
