The pictures don't do this place justice... it is even better in person! If you are looking for a centrally located, well appointed, spotless apartment in Venice, this place is for you. The kitchen and bathroom were very nice and well renovated (we used both the washing machine and dishwasher with ease). The bedroom was also very big and had a very large wardrobe. The balcony was amazing and huge. It was great to overlook the square outside La Fenice from the balcony and watch both tourists and locals go by.

Thierry (husband of Fiorella) communicated with us before we left for Venice, providing directions and general information. Upon our arrival, he picked us up from the Rialto vaporetto stop. We were able to chat over WhatsApp to coordinate the pickup. He walked us to the apartment (showing us where the supermarket was on the way) and then showed us all the apartment amenities. He was very kind and accessible over chat our entire trip.

Tips:
* The bathroom has a skylight that opens.
* Be careful of the mosquitoes, even in April! Thierry showed us where the mosquito repellent plug-in was and we wished we had used it on the first night.
* Be prepared for a 4th floor walk-up (USA floors) with luggage. Also, there is only a railing from floors 2-4. It is well worth the walk for the amazing balcony though.
* The hairdryer was a little weak (I have long hair and dry it everyday), so I would recommend bringing your own.
* There is a drying rack in the wardrobe, if you use the washing machine.
