My sincere thanks to Jacopo and Michela for their warm hospitality and for a comfortable stay in their apartment that is an excellent location.
Jacopo sent details on the transport options and was responsive in accommodating an earlier check-in. He even greeted me at the water bus pontoon and later walked me around the streets nearby to point out some attractions and places to eat.
The owners are evidently very proud of their apartment and have provided high-end furnishings, soft linen and plentiful basic provisions (e.g., basic pantry items in the small but well-designed kitchen).
The neighbourhood is perfect. It is lively but far away enough from the tourist areas to be a little quieter and respite from the crowds, with fabulous access to a good supermarket nearby and good restaurants. The views are lovely, looking straight over the life of the Grand Canal. It is easy to walk anywhere and there is a water bus stop nearby.
The only slight disappointment was the sometimes under-heated water temperature in the shower and kitchen, perhaps an issue for those who like a high-pressure, toasty hot shower.
All in all, this apartment comes highly recommended for those who want to feel at home in Venice and live like a local for a while, well looked after by the thoughtful and kind owners. I have fond memories of my time here.
