We loved everything about this apartment and counted ourselves very fortunate to have found it.

We were greeted at the nearest boat stop by Francesca's sister. It was so nice to see a friendly smiling person waving to us as we docked at the small quiet Sant Angelo stop, especially after just passing the crowds and confusion at the previous Rialto stop. It was a very easy couple of minutes walk to the apartment. She made us feel very welcome, showed us everything we needed to know about the apartment and gave us lots of useful advice on places to eat and visit.

The apartment's location is absolutely perfect for getting around Venice. It really is in the very heart of it and easy to walk everywhere from it. The canal at the back was very beautiful. The apartment was elegantly furnished, immaculately clean and the bathroom and kitchen were extremely well stocked.

Although there is a bridge and alleyway next to the double bedroom, it was very quiet, especially at night, the beds were very comfortable and we slept well.

It really was a fantastic place to stay in Venice.
