We were stunned at what a wonderful place this was upon our arrival. Not only is the flat VERY clean, SUPER comfortable and quite charming, but it's placement inside of an old palace right on a beautiful piazza and across from a church was a dream. We loved WHERE it was located, close to San Marco, but far enough away that it felt more "local" than touristy. Cinzia was SUCH a gracious host who obviously loves her city and took great time and care with us at check in, giving us a map of the city and marking some of the restaurants that she believed would give us a wonderful experience. She was so right. We took her advice and in doing so we discovered a more wonderful Venice than we would ever have discovered without her help. Love Cinzia, love the beautiful flat, LOVE Venice. We WILL be back.
