My wife and and our two teenage children recently spent 4 nights in Carlo's apartment in Venice. We flew in to Venice and took a shuttle bus to the central bus station followed by a 10 minute walk wheeling our suitcases. We were met by Carlo's cousin Susanna who made the process of getting to the apartment and being introduced to the local environment very easy indeed. Susanna was informative, welcoming and lives nearby which is a bonus. The apartment is located within 5 - 10 minutes walk of many of the main attractions of Venice but is in a beautifully quiet and residential area. It is also 2 minutes from a small supermarket that carries all the essentials and much more. The apartment is very comfortable and enormously charming. The rooms are furnished with a wonderful mix of old and new and the balcony over the canal brings Venice to life. The kitchen is particularly well appointed and we enjoyed the lovely touch of good coffee for the drip filter to start the day. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend the apartment and the wonderful introduction Carlo's cousin Susanna gave us.
