Monica and Fabio deserve the title of “Super Host”! The apartment is every bit as wonderful as it appears on the website. Beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean, with all the amenities you could ask for, plus the thoughtful touches of bread, milk, juice, coffee, tea, and fresh fruit.
Communication was excellent, and always very prompt. Access was easy, everything in the apartment clearly signed. When a transport strike meant we were unable to leave Venice, we were very fortunate — thanks to Fabio’s quick response — to be able to return for an additional night. Sanctuary at a difficult time.
It’s also a perfect neighbourhood: lots of great little bars and restaurants (Do Spade restaurant, All’ Arco cichetti bar, and Farini bakery were particular favourites), central location making it easy to get to all of the sights of Venice. And the Rialto Market is amazing!
Yet in the evening it was lovely and quiet, no crowds or loud partying. It was everything I hope for, and more; I do hope to return someday!
