What a wonderful first visit to Venice. The apartment was perfect for our family gathering for my 60th birthday. Everything we needed to have a wonderful four days - something for all generations. My two grandchildren loved the space to run around, my husband and brother-in-law enjoyed the room upstairs listening to Francois's extensive classical music collection, my son cooked two fabulous meals in the very well equipped kitchen and we all sat around the large dining table having a wonderful time until the early hours. Roberto met us at the bus stop and the apartment was literally around the corner. he was charming, explaining everything about the apartment, recommended two restaurants which we all enjoyed - he was with us promptly on our departure day. Nothing seemed too much trouble. The apartment was comfortable, roomy, beautifully decorated, quiet, clean, very conveniently located, wonderful views of the city from every window - actually perfect!! Thank you Francois for sharing your wonderful Venetian home with us. I will now have to get a another group together so we can stay at Grand Canal Terrasse once again!! Many thanks, Angie
