We were instantly in love with Silvia's place and had a great stay in at her Venice apartment which was just by the Rialto bridge. Communication with Silvia was a breeze and she gave us perfect directions and also met us at the apartment. The location of the apartment is great and offers convenient access to all that Venice has to offer. There are lots of local restaurants where you can savor the best cuisines and if you are bold enough definitely go to the local Rialto market to buy the freshest stuff that you can use your imagination to conjure up for an Italian meal. Definitely recommend staying here and we hope to visit again!
