We booked the apartment for a special birthday and flew in from around the world. The apartment was very spacious and full of character, perfect for us and our grown up children. The view is amazing over the guidecca canal, it's lovely to sit and watch all the boats go by. This was a part of Venice we didn't know so it was nice to explore but it was still close to the academia bridge and the main part of the city. There were far fewer tourists here! Giorgio was very helpful and met us and showed us around the apartment and was happy to be contacted if we needed anything.
