We have just returned home from a great 5days in Venice. Our trip was made particularly special because of staying in Roberto’s unique apartment. Right from the start Roberto’s communications and assistance was great, he enlisted the assistance of a lovely lady Benedetta who gave us great directions and advice from the airport to the apartment, we took a water taxi and was dropped off by a port literally next door to the apartment. When we arrived Benedetta was waiting to show us around it. We were pleasantly surprised by the space, and was immediately captivated by the canal right outside the window and the Gondeliers passing by. The apartment is in a great location right next to the Teatro Le Fenice, which is in a wonderful square with great restaurants, shops and bars very nearby, San Marco’s square is just over 5mins walk and Rialto Bridge about 10min walk.
If you enjoy people watching then seeing the Gondeliers going by is a unique take, and is quite busy during the day but in the evening and at night, the apartment is very peaceful and quiet. Beds were also nice and comfy and we all slept well. We enjoyed the apartment and location and I would have given it 5 stars but the only frustrating issue we had was unreliability of the WIFI, partly as we chose the accommodation based on it having WIFI, and for the most part it was unavailable particularly in the evening when we really needed it, as we have a teenage daughter (14) and with no English/ American TV to watch we needed to stream, but this was not possible, nor her being able to chill with some of her games, we got her playing cards but this only lasted so long, especially after a long day walking and sightseeing. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to anyone.
