I don't think I've ever stayed in a more beautiful apartment. I felt like a local and access to the garden was amazing - we had a little retreat away from the crowds.
The apartment just makes you feel happy when you walk into it - it is light and bright and has so many wonderful paintings of animals and Venice that were painted by the host. We wish we could have stayed there for much longer. I had never been in Venice at night and having an apartment in the city was so great because we could walk around at night and early in the morning before it got crowded with other tourists.
Check-in and check-out were seamless and we were able to store our luggage for a couple of hours after check-out. Our party of 6 had more than enough space. Every detail in the apartment is well thought out and just makes you feel like home. If we ever go back to Venice, I hope to stay here again.
