We had a fabulous time in Venice at Davide's apartment. If anything, the photographs did not do justice to the apartment, the views, the quality of the furniture and everything else in the apartment. We particularly liked the spaciousness, the two large bedrooms, and the roof terrace.

Finding the apartment after the initial introduction was easy, given its closeness to Campo Santa Maria Formosa, and we very quickly got used to navigating our way to the Grand Canal, to Piazza San Marco, and to the other nearby landmarks in Venice. There is a very good cafe/bar right at the end of the calle, a fruit and vegetable stall there also, and the directions on Davide's excellent map were very accurate, when we went looking for the supermarket.

A particularly nice touch was the 2014 Rick Steve Guidebook in the apartment, which we used each day (and then left for the next visitors!)

Highly recommended!
