Yumi's place is exquisite.
Tucked into a quiet corner of Venice, overlooking a canal, and with a private roof terrace that looks over the rooftops around.
We were there during the Festa del Redentore and we got to watch the fireworks form the roof terrace.
Easy to get to from the vaporetto stop (Arsenale) and away from the tourist-heavy bustle that is much of Venice, and yet only 10-15 mins walk to St Mark's Square.
Local shops and restaurants are only a few min walk away, and aren't swarmed with tourists.
The apartment has everything you need, including a record player and some classical LPs, which was a lovely touch.
It's a beautiful space, the photos online don't do it justice.
There's no TV, but with fast internet, we had no problems if we wanted to watch anything as we used our tablet.
All in all, we had a wonderful stay at Yumi's apartment, it's definitely where we'll stay again next time we're in Venice.
