Paulo and Ricardo were fantastic hosts and the apartment was perfect. Communication up to and during our stay was exceptional. Ricardo met us at the apartment at check in, helped with our luggage and walked us through the apartment. He also provided suggestions for things to do and not to do during our stay in Venice.
The apartment is right on a small canal with a standing balcony and windows from both bedrooms that open to the water. It was great watching the multiple boats cruise by as well as listen to the medics picking on each other as the hospital and ambulance boats are just across the canal.
Pastries and snacks as well as water and cream was provided. We took advantage of the clothes washer in the apartment as well as the clotheslines out the canal windows and the provided clothespins. Paolo and Ricardo have thought of everything.
The location was perfect. Walking distance to the main sightseeing places on the island and 5 minutes to the water bus stop, but far enough away from the crowds to be peaceful. The apartment was well stocked and sparkling clean and the beds were very comfortable. When our flight was delayed, Ricardo offered us to leave our luggage until we were able to head out.
As a host myself, I have high expectations and Ricardo and Paolo blew every one of them away. I highly recommend their apartment and would definitely stay here again. Ricardo...thank you for a fantastic stay!
