Antonio was a delightful host! This charming attic apartment in the Castello sestier of Venice was quiet, peaceful, and extremely convenient. The altana is a truly beautiful thing to experience with the sunrises and sunsets overlooking San Pietro. Castello is still preserved from tourism a bit and it was a pleasure to experience local business and Venetians.
The apartment had every amenity I could hope for including the added bonus of a drying machine for laundry (a true unicorn find in Europe). There were plenty of linens, towels, and pillows as well as lots of kitchenware to utilize.
I am already looking forward to a second stay and hope to return as soon as possible.
