Our family with 2 children absolutely loved this place! The neighborhood is safe and well-lit at night. The location is central and all sights, restaurants and shops are within walking distance. The apartment is modern, clean and full of thoughtful touches that one would typically expect only in luxury hotels. The fridge and kitchenette are well stocked -- a huge bonus for us, especially the kids! Annalisa, Francesca, and Tommaso are wonderful hosts. Annalisa picked us up, and they were also kind enough to help us pre-book the water taxi to the train station on our way out (not easy to describe the exact pick-up place in Venice, much less to a non-English speaking driver :-)
