The apartment is in a lovely historic building on a canal. There is a great view of Venice. Nico helped us get our bags up all the stairs, which was wonderful. Nico and his mother Christina made us feel right at home. They made reservations at a great restaurant and ordered an aperitif for us. The apartment was neat and clean and had plenty of storage space for our stuff. Each morning, Christina prepared an elegant breakfast for us in the dining room. We loved our stay in Venice.
