Manuela and her husband Stefano were excellent hosts, making us feel comfortable and welcome as soon as we arrived at our meeting place near the apartment. We were even surprised with "welcome treats" in the apartment. Communication with them was easy and efficient - they answer promptly, they spoke English well and they gave quick and helpful answers to our inquiries. Their apartment is perfect - it exceeded my expectations! It was very clean, it smelled very nice and everything was working perfectly (fast and stable wi-fi, properly working air conditioners, washing machines,TV, etc.) The apartment even had extra items to make our Venice stay even better - available guidebooks, restaurant recommendations, house rules and instructions. The listing description is accurate - it is indeed very near San Marco, in a nicely located neighborhood. The pictures show that this is a nice apartment but it was even better seeing it in person! It was a beautiful apartment with wonderful owners. I would love to stay here again when I go back to Venice and I would definitely recommend this apartment to my friends who plan to go there.
