A wonderful experience in Venice. Chiara is a friendly, organized host who took the time to give us so much local advice including her favorite places to enjoy delicious local food. We tried to go to them all! The apartment is lovely. It is cosy, quiet and comfortable. The little lift is a plus for taking up luggage (we used the stairs as exercise after all the snacking). The area of San Polo is close to any of the tourist sights with vaparetto stops nearby. There are several excellent bacaro bars nearby and a delicious restaurant “La Zucca”. A friendly neighborhood away from the tourist hoards. We stayed a week and it was hard to leave. Highly recommended.
