Stefano went above and beyond in our messages prior to the trip regarding transportation and accessing the apartment. He was very clear, communicative and thorough in all of our messages! When we arrived he happened to be there with his very sweet family. clearly good people.
The apartment itself is a gem. The balcony provided a space for true relaxation. The kitchen had everything to be able to make a simple breakfast with foods we bought down the street at the local market. The kitchen appliances were up to date and included an espresso maker. Stefano had left us venetian biscotti and prosecco. yum. All was clean and comfortable especially the beds.
The location is off the beaten path but close enough for a fun night life scene if you want it. Around the corner, down the next street, young locals drink and sit along the canal eating small snacks. Cross over 2 bridges and you can be right near a market fruit and veg vendor. You can be at a bunch of restaurants in around 5 minutes. (Laguna Libre was a restaurant 10 minutes away where we went twice because of the vegan options and different flavors). San Marco/other tourist areas only 1/2 hour walk away. easy breezy.
If we come back we hope Stefano will have us again! Grazie mille!
