Lovely, spacious and elegant apartment with old world charm and beautiful decor in a great location. Peaceful and quiet but a very short walk to all you could want: Piazza San Marco and many other piazzas are very close, the all important vaporetti stops are also nearby, and a great variety of restaurants and shopping of all kinds. Riccardo is a wonderful host with copious information, excellent recommendations and is always available. The smooth check in included meeting us at the vaporetti stop and helping us with our luggage. At the end of a day of exploring, this apartment was a great place to return to and stretch out in with comfortable furniture and bed. The charming little balcony was a delightful place to watch the gondolas navigate the convergence of two little canals. The apartment was well stocked with all that we needed and the ability to do laundry was very helpful.
