The apartment is beautiful, clean, and spacious. It was the perfect ‘home away from home” in Venice. The Castello neighborhood is wonderful — near many stores and restaurants — while still away from the big crowds. It is centrally located, near the Biennale, San Marco, and public transportation. And we loved the hosts! Riccardo and Alessandra were so gracious and helpful. They scheduled private taxis both to and from the apartment, helped us when we were struggling with dinner reservations, and generally are just lovely people to work with. Highest recommendations!
