So happy with our choice to stay at Ivana's apartment while in Venice! The apartment was perfect for me and my husband. The location is good if you're looking for something a little off the beaten path of the hustle and bustle of Venice (was perfect for us). It was so convenient to have access to the Hilton water shuttle right outside of the building to get back and forth to the Grand Canal area. It's also close to the vaporetto station (a public water taxi with multiple stops throughout all of Venice).
The apartment decor and amenities were great, very well done.
I appreciated having two bathrooms so we could each have our own bathroom making it easier to get ready for the day.
Ivana's communications ahead of time were top-notch. She was also available if we needed anything or had questions during our stay. We didn't meet Ivana personally (no problem for us) but her assistant Vicky met us when we arrived and let us into the apartment, showed us around, and provided all instructions. Super helpful.
Having a washing machine inside the apartment was awesome. We were able to get all of our clothes clean before leaving for our next Italy stop. The dryer can take hours, so we just hung everything up to dry while we were out for the day.
The apartment has two windows that open for fantastic breezes and a great view.
Ivana left us a wonderful bottle of Prosecco (sparkling wine) when we arrived. Really nice touch. :-)
Staying in Ivana's apartment for a few days was a highlight of our 2-week travels around Italy.
