Everything was excellent! You should stay here.

We booked on a very short notice (just 2 days before arrival), and everything went very smoothly; overall, communication was very clear, friendly and pleasant. The directions from the hosts helped aplenty to find our way to the apartment. Francesco's mother met us and showed everything in the flat and gave some advices on things to do and places to visit.

The place is perfectly located: you're 3 minutes away from the sea, 5 minutes away from the Canale Grande, and with a lot of places to eat/drink nearby. Personal tip: Dal Moro's pasta place around the corner is a must.

The apartment is wonderfully furnished, showing impeccable taste and some touch of the old Venetian times, yet with the modern level of comfort. The doors which lead directly to the courtyard is another very special and unusual thing – and a perfect place for a glass of wine in the evening.

Overall, it was a 11/10 experience. Given how busy and expensive Venice is, and how difficult it can be to find a place to stay, this is not only a very pleasant spot, but also an excellent deal.
