If you come to Venice book THIS apartment!!!
The location is PERFECT (very central and very quiet at the same time, gondoliers right below your window, close to everything and dead quiet early and at night - really perfect).
The look and feel of the apartment is exactly what you’d want in a Venice rental - Old and beautiful all of it in a good way.
Dimitri and his mom - are GREAT hosts, personable, responsive, lovely and charming and REALLY care about their ‘clients’. We dealt with Dimitri mostly and my son still talks about him two days after we left.
Take them up on helping with transportation and in general and enjoy this lovely place and family - we had a PERFECT experience with them.
