This is a fabulous apartment, and Chiara is the most wonderful hostess! We recently stayed here for a long weekend. There were five of us in total - two friends, my husband, one-year-old daughter, and myself. The two bedrooms are very spacious, and there are two bathrooms - one with a shower. The kitchen is more than adequate for a vacation stay, and Chiara was nice enough to stock the fridge and cabinets with some basics, including cereal, milk, fruit, water, and coffee/tea. She even had a bottle of wine and some panettone to welcome us!
The view from the roof-top deck is incredible, and it is the most perfect place to relax and just take in the beauty of Venice! Since we visited in January, we didn't get to enjoy it that much, but we still made sure to brave the cold a few times to enjoy the views.
Since we couldn't spend our evenings on the roof due to the cold, we did enjoy the very spacious living room, which is complete with puzzles, books, and wifi to keep you entertained - or you could just sit and talk all evening and plan for the next day like we did. Bascially, there was plenty of room for the four of us to sit around and relax, and even space for our daughter to play.
If you have children, there is no other place to stay in Venice! Chiara went above and beyond to find a travel cot for our 16month old daughter, and she also had several toys and even child cups available. This was such a help to us as any parent knows how difficult it is to pack everything you need when flying. It also was so sweet and made our daughter feel right at home.
We only had an issue with the shower pressure and hot water during our stay. However, Chiara was very quick to help us fix it and even offered to come that day with a hydraulics specialist. I would just make sure to ask Chiara about the reset switch for the water pump during check-in.
In conclusion, this is a perfect place to stay and enjoy Venice, and you could not ask for a better hostess!
