I could not be more pleased. My daughter and I used Lotus Apartment for our Mother/Daughter trip to Italy for some R&R and bonding time. We could not have been more pleased with the accommodations. It is a bit of a hidden gem. First of all, it’s is tucked away in a quiet, but prime spot that is both charming and safe. We were met by Valentina who was very responsive and went out of her way to meet us and guide us to the apartment when we got off of the main water taxi line. She showed us around the apartment and helped us get acquainted as well as oriented to Venice and what it has to offer. The home is beautiful, well appointed with all needed amenities on hand. The setting is idyllic, in the heart of Venice, close to the canals, incredible breath taking views, with all the major sights within walking distance. The apartment itself, however, is nestled in a very quiet area. I awoke each morning to beautiful light streaming through large oversized windows and the sound of bird song in lieu of an alarm clock or worse, gobs of tourist or noise makers. It was a peaceful, restful haven and I will cherish the memories made at this apartment and in Venice for all my life to come.
