Exploring Venice is easy from Beatrice's apartment - it's close to all the major landmarks but is away from the tourist crowds in a charming neighbourhood. The photos are very accurate and the flat is spacious and comfortable with everything you could need (including a tea towel, which seems rare in Italy!). It's nice and quiet and feels very secure. Beatrice is really easy to communicate with and is always helpful. Larisa met us at Fondamente Nove and took us to the apartment and gave us lots of helpful info about where to eat (we would highly recommend the Da'Alvise by F. Nove). There's quite a big bridge on the way to/from the Alilaguna boat so don't bring heavy luggage. We loved being on a canal watching people passing by on gondolas, which was very relaxing. All in all, the perfect stay and we're already planning to come back
