We spent 4 nights in this apartment and it is exactly what was described on the site, in fact better-the photos don't do it justice!
We were met by Francesca's mother who was warm and welcoming despite the language barrier-neither of us spoke any Italian, although the gesturing worked a treat and there was clear instructions in English for things which helped.
The apartment was incredibly spacious, spotlessly clean and, we loved the little touches, such as the welcome package of food on arrival.
It was lovely to have an outdoor area to enjoy, and even though we didn't play, enjoyed watching the locals play tennis.
The location is excellent, only 5 minutes from the vaparetto stop, and within easy access to all the main tourist sites. It was very pleasant to be in a neighbourhood that was a little removed from the touristy crowds, but still had all the conveniences of modern bars, cafes and excellent restaurants.
Francesca was excellent to deal with and provided us with all sorts of information prior to our departure.
I would highly recommend this apartment and would not hesitate in staying here again when I next visit Venice.
Fantastic......thankyou for a wonderful stay!
