we had a wonderful stay! Ilaria picked us up at the vaporetto station, and once home gave us some precious advice for our stay in venice. we highly recommend going to burano island. the apartment is perfectly located, very centrally and close to st mark square. we did a free walking tour of venice which we also recommend. guides are well versed and make sure you enjoy the tour. the apartmemt has a balcony with great views, two rooms (one small and one medium) and nice living room, dining space and kitchen (ask to be shown how to start the gas burners since they are finicky). dowstairs is a great fresh pasta place, and there is a grocery store two blocks north. we highly recommed this apartment and would stay there again without hesitation.
