What a wonderful experience. Venice, of course, was beautiful but the apartment - clean, stylish, perfectly situated - and Matilde's hosting was impeccable. She was kind and attentive when we asked for guidance and charming and patient when we managed to lock ourselves out after only a few minutes! The balcony was fabulous in the mornings and evenings and the air con kept us comfortable when the temperature rose. The lift was perfect for getting luggage and groceries to the 2nd floor - especially after walking around the city for much of the day! We would recommend this for anyone - but ideal for a family. When we go back we will certainly try to book it again.
