Staying at Martina and Jacopo's place in Venice was an amazing part of our trip to Italy. It is right in the heart of Venice located not far from the Rialto Bridge or St. Mark's Square. Close by are bakeries, bars, and restaurants. The apartment itself offers a fully equipped kitchen, lovely bathroom, washer, sitting room with futon type bed, and a bedroom with a kingbed and pullout couch which could sleep extra guests. There were only two of us and the apartment gave us more space than we could use. We appreciated the touches like an ironing board and iron, a hair dryer, and things like oil, coffee, salt and sugar in the kitchen. The best part of our stay was their kind friend Elio who greeted us and gave us personal suggestions regarding where to eat, what bakery to visit, how to get around, and even a special roof top to visit to view the city on our last night in Venice. I can not say enough kind words. One night the electricity unexpectedly went off and Elio came right over to solve the problem. Meeting people is the best part of traveling and we are thankful to have met Elio and to have had such a remarkable stay. Gracias.
