The location of the apartment is absolutely fantastic, just one street back from a busier street filled with cafes and restaurants but very quiet and safe and the balcony views are fantastic! The apartment location and building is very authentic and really adds the the stay in venice. Nicoletta met us off the water bus and walked us to our apartment, pointing out local points of interest as we walked and when in the apartment took the time to point out some great places to visit on a map she provided us with. The places she recommended were excellent and made our stay so enjoyable. I can not recommend this apartment and host enough. Without a doubt the best location to be in Venice. We walked to all the tourist attractions with ease and got to experience evenings mingling with the locals. 5* experience
