We loved staying in Venice in Antonios apartment.

Antonio was very helpful in answering questions before the stay, and Robin was our contact during the stay itself.

Robin met us by the train station and guided us through the busy main street of Cannareggio (northernmost neighourhood of Venice) and explained everything clearly to us when we arrived at the apartment.

The apartment was small, but definitely had a charm. We loved how there was a skylight above the shower-part of the apartment, which let in lovely light during the day. It had everything we needed in terms of cooking utensils, and we cooked a few meals in the apartment. Just overall tons of great solutions.

Walking out through the main entrance was always a treat, as it has a great backyard, with a beautiful entrance-building leading into a small garden in the back.

In the apartment, Antonio provided us with a mosquito-repellant which plugs into the socket. We merely got a few bites during our weeklong stay, so it was quite effective, other than this we didn't experience anything in terms of ants or the like mentioned in other reviews.

The apartment in itself got quite hot, but the A/C-unit provided is quite powerful, so it cools right down. The downside to it being powerful is also that it's loud. To even survive the heat, we had to sleep with the A/C on during the night. Even though it was loud, we managed to fall asleep without any trouble.

The neighbourhood is really great. Robin pointed us to a few grocery-shops. There are a few pretty small ones very near the apartment, but we recommend walking for 5-minutes and finding "Prix", which was a hidden away grocery store, but a pretty big one! Almost no tourists, and you can buy everything you need. Just search "Prix" on Google Maps, and you'll find it right away.

All in all, we loved our stay here in Venice, and we're very happy with Antonio's apartment.
