Silvestri’s place could not have been more perfect. She greeted us on the street on arrival to escort us to the apartment, she wrote down specific places for us to visit and restaurants to eat in. She understood that we wanted to hide away from the tourists spots, so we were able to experience true Venice lifestyle. The apartment was perfect - so clean and beautiful. I never wanted to leave! And the location could not have been more perfect - central to the main sights and next to a very beautiful square for meals.
