This is a quite exceptionally lovely apartment, with lots of character, giving us what I imagine to be the quintessential Venetian family experience. We cooked most nights in the well-equipped kitchen and ate our meals around the elegant circular table while boats and gondalas went by beyond the flowers on the balcony. The apartment was perfectly clean, the bathroom new and stylish, and the location in a very quiet and friendly neighbourhood was fantastic - easily within walking distance for St Mark's Square and many interesting galleries and churches, as well as other interesting less well-known places to visit - we really enjoyed the Jewish Museum in Ghetto, and walked to an evening concert of classical music in the Chiesa San Vidal, but repeatedly returned to the local square close to the apartment where the most lovely bread buns can be bought from Majis for breakfast and you can stock up on ingredients for dinner in the supermarket - also lots of lovely restaurants and bars and ice cream places, but not too many tourists! This kind of experience is why I love Airbnb. I felt sorry to leave the flat and quite jealous today to think it now belongs to some other people..... we hope to return!
