I was sad to leave! I had a great stay in Antonio's cosy and beautifully renovated studio which was perfect for me, being in a quieter part of Venice away from tourist crowds but still only a brisk walk to St Marks square - hardly a chore! The apartment is very clean comfortable and well equipped and it's great to wake up to the sun over the rooftops and the sound of church bells. Antonio is a genial and cultured host and a great source of information and Venetian history. I hope I get to stay again in the future when next I visit magical Venice.
As noted in the description, there are steep stairs in this building which may not suit everyone. This is typical for older Venetian homes of course.
