We had a wonderful stay in Venice in Matteo’s apartment. Perfect location with a lovely view of a canal and gondolas going by out the bedroom windows. It is close to several very good restaurants and easy walking distance to many sites in Venice. The courtyard on the ground floor is shared with a bar and got quite lively/loud at times but was fun to hear, and always quiet by bedtime. The steps up to the 4th floor are a good hike but help to balance the amount of pasta you will undoubtedly eat! We would definitely stay here again.
