Rita's apartment is a fantastic place to stay in Venice and she is an great host. The location is excellent, the Cannaregio district is lovely, and while it is still quite "buzzing" it is nowhere near as busy as San Marco. The apartment is next to three vaporetto stops so a large number of routes are covered for easy access all over the city. The house itself is just lovely, plenty of room for a family and the private outside space was a fantastic bonus. So peaceful, we really enjoyed hanging out there to recover from our sightseeing. Inside everything was perfectly clean and we had everything we needed. The air conditioning in the bedrooms was VERY much appreciated, as was the provision of mosquito repelling devices and refills (I guess mosquitos cannot be avoided in Venice, but inside the house we were "safe"!) Rita was very good at communicating with thorough instructions on how to reach the apartment and many tips on good restaurants and shops nearby, which were also marked on a map in the house. It was really helpful. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would absolutely recommend Rita's place!
