Our experience was so exceptional, I am not sure where to start. Casa Furlani ai Dalmati is five star from start to finish and top to bottom. It is - after decades of Airbnb use -the best we have stayed in, by far. It is in a classic Venice neighbourhood, with a front door that literally opens on to a picturesque canal. The apartment is large and beautiful and very clean. The shower is strong and hot and stocked with high quality shampoo and soap. The kitchen has all the cutlery, glasses, pots, pans and tableware you would ever need and the appliances are top notch. It is tastefully decorated. Our stay was in early August and the heat was sweltering outside but never inside - the a/c is powerful and quiet, with an outlet in the bedroom and a separate one in the living room/kitchen area. The location is perfect, a very few minutes walk from everything but still whisper quiet at night. Liana was a brilliant host - like a relative welcoming us into her home. She gave us guidance on where to eat and shop like the finest of concierges (even provided a book full of sites to see, getting around tips and suggestions where to eat and shop) and she responded to our texts in minutes all through our stay. Bottom line is that we felt like pinching ourselves when we got to the place and that feeling stayed with us the whole time we were there. We will definitely be back, as often as we can. We have found our Venice home base!
