We had a perfect Venetian experience at Silvia's flat. Unlocking the downstairs gate to the small inner courtyard, made us feel as if we truely lived in the city. The views onto the canal were lovely, especially early in the mornings when Venice wakes up and the barges and occasional gondolas glided by on their way to work. The flat is very spacious with a well equipped kitchen and a big livingroom. The location is ideal to return to in the day for a little rest. Silvia is a wonderful host and full of good advice about what to do and where to eat. She recommended the lovely palazzo Fortuny to us and we went on to the fabric shop to buy fantastic souvenirs. As a good cook herself, she could recommend yummy restaurants. We were never disappointed:)
Overall, our stay was fantastic and we would very much like to return in the future.
