Our stay at Caroline & Jacopo's place was faultless.
Jakopo met us at our coach stop and very kindly took charge of our suitcases. He is as friendly and helpful as other reviewers have described.
Everything we could have wanted was provided including a much appreciated welcome pack of milk, eggs, bread and fruit.
The bed and sofa bed were very comfy and the bathroom is spacious. There are huge windows bringing in lots of light all around the place. Like most Italian apartments I have stayed in, it's located higher than ground floor, but does have a very handy lift!
There were lots of guidebooks and maps which we found invaluable. There is also a library of fiction; paperbacks etc which were great to peruse over breakfast.
The apartment is superbly located. This was my sixth time in Venice so it was lovely to stay in a new area a little further from St Marks Square but just as busy and bright. There are so many bars, shops and restaurants in the area that you are spoiled for choice. The nearby supermarket is very well stocked and reasonably priced and there are good value one € stores for cheap souvenirs to take back to work colleagues.
Caroline and Jakopo gave excellent advice on where to visit during our stay and checked in with us by text, we never felt anxious about our stay. We even got a very timely message offering the use of an umbrella on the one day it rained.
I would happily recommend the apartment and its hosts and very much look forward to staying again.
