Can't say enough how much we enjoyed our stay at this apartment! Our first trip to Europe and Venice was a little intimidating and selecting proper places to stay was priority for my family. Andrea was easy to talk to and was responsive to all my questions and concerns and went out of her way to make sure getting access to the aprtment was easy and convenient! Her directions and details made our arrival a snap! As for the apartment... Location location location! It is tucked away in a lovely area full of life all day long with little restaurants, cafe's and shops. Everything was within walking distance with the longest walk about 30 mins and that was to get to the furthest reaches of Venice! The apartment was perfect and even though there was lots going on in the street below the windows to the apt, you shut the windows and silence ensued! The kitchen was all one would need. For a family of three it was perfect! Makes me want to give it all up and move to Italy. My only complaint if you can call it that was there is no air conditioning. This is not a big deal for most of the year I would expect but we are from northern Canada and hit Venice in a bit of a heat wave! Hot hot hot! Andrea had plenty of fans to keep the air flow moving! All in all a perfect week!
