We stayed three nights at Valentina’s lovely Venice apartment. Orial met us at the San Zaccaria vappereto stop (which is just a few minutes from the apartment). The apartment is all about LOCATION, Location, Location! You truly are in the heart of San Marco. The apartment had everting you need inside and a wonderful private garden out back. We went to the market and stocked up on wine, meat, cheese, and bread. In the late afternoon we would go back to the garden, have a glass of wine and some food. After walking all day, sitting in the garden was such a reprieve from the large crowds outside. Although, you would never know there was so many people just beyond the apartment because it was so quite once you stepped inside. There is a torrtaria and a Bacaro just steps away, along with many other shops. We chose to walk about 20 minutes each evening for dinner to get a more local feel. Although I never met Valentina, she was very responsive via text message, and Orial was very helpful at check in! We were sad to leave. Ciao grazie Valentina!
