This apartment is a win for virtually every reason you’re searching. The most unique feature is Barbara, the host. She owns the apartment and is local to the region. She is active and protective of the apartment, but in a favorite aunt kind of way. She met us personally to show us the ropes and ensure we were comfortable in the area.
She communicates very quickly and thoughtfully. She offers gestures you would expect from a 5-star hotel concierge. And, she wants to do this! Working with her alone is worth a fortune and really benefitted my family for our stay.
The apartment is beautiful with wonderful touches. It’s very comfortable and relaxing. The showers are comfortable, beds and linens are wonderful, and the kitchen has everything you need for a great time. The air conditioning works perfectly and is even zoned so you can adjust bedroom temperatures individually. The apartment is also safe with multiple locks and a gate, so you can just forget any worry you may have about being away from your comfort zone.
The community is exactly what I wanted - convenience to top sights within minutes but to be away from the majority of the crowds. It is on a plaza with restaurants, a grocery store, and easy access to a taxi stand. This plaza is popular with college aged locals, so there is a pizza place open till midnight or later. It does make the plaza busy late many nights, but it’s fun and to be appreciated.
Frankly, there’s no doubt we will return to Venice and there is absolutely nowhere else I would even consider staying. This place is a real treat!
