We had a wonderful time staying in Venice at Furio’s apartment. Even before arriving Furio was always helpful and answered all the many questions I asked, being a first time visitor to Venice. The apartment was clean and larger than I expected. We had 2 full bedrooms, a spacious shower/bath, and a renovated kitchen. It was a much better experience than a hotel. In addition, the proximity to San Marco was a major bonus for us. We were in town specifically for Carnival so being close to the square was a major bonus.
