The location, very close to the Rialto Bridge but in a quiet courtyard, is excellent. Fabiana is very thoughtful in providing a lot of little goodies to get a guest settled in (welcome cakes; cereal, milk, and yogurt for the first breakfast; ground coffee for espresso). The apartment is clean and comfortably furnished and made a perfect home base (and simply, home) for me as a solo traveler in Venice for almost a week. So much better than any hotel could ever be. The only slight drawback was noise--a neighbor with a hobby/profession that involves pounding (though not often, or outside daytime hours...) and proximity to outdoor restaurants with sometimes noisy diners. But even there, Fabiana was ready: with a supply of ear plugs. (I really only noticed this on the weekend, and granted, I was there on spring break, when I expect the number of tourists in Venice doubles.) All in all, I heartily recommend Fabiana's lovely little apartment, and if I ever return, I'll be happy staying there again.
