Highly recommend this apartment where our family of five stayed last week. It was perfect for us in every way-- immaculately clean, very well-located near attractions (but not TOO near), quiet as a tomb and nice and cool thanks to well-functioning air conditioning (if you have traveled in Europe much you know this is not always a guarantee, even in very nice hotels). All the beds were very comfortable and the place came stocked with some basic necessities like toilet paper, salt, sugar --even shampoo and soap. Kitchen is set up for actual cooking with pans and utensils which we appreciated as we like to start the day off with a nice cooked breakfast (doesn't really exist in Venice!). BEST of all was our wonderful hostess, Laura, who took the time to explain where to visit during our stay in this magical city, and where to buy groceries, good coffee and good food! She even provided us with a map which she annotated for us with her suggestions (all of which were terrific!) We recommend this apartment without reservation and would return in an instant! Thank you Laura and family for a wonderful stay!
