When we read all the wonderful reviews we thought this place was too good to be true, but it definitely lived up to all the accolades. It’s perfectly located close to the train station in an much quieter neighborhood. Valeria had sent us perfectly detailed instructions so we found it easily. The apartment is up three flights of beautiful marble staircases in what looks to be a palace. Once inside we found it spacious, clean, comfortable, with an amazing view of the Grand Canal. We would bring chairs by the windows and enjoy a glass of wine while watching the sunset. Valeria gave us three wonderful restaurant recommendations out of tourist areas, all of which proved to be fabulous dining experiences. She was available on WhatsAp to answer questions quickly and offer advice on vaporetto stops, tickets and how best to tip. We absolutely loved our stay! In case you want to take an amazing cooking class in Venice also try “yummy Cooking Class in Venice” Grazie Valeria. We’ll be back. Maria and John
