If you want to visit Venice but don't want to be caught in all the tourist traps this is definitely a place to consider staying. It's located in a nice building in a really nice and convenient area. Right outside the door is a very nice local restaurant/bar called 'Paradiso Perduto". It has a great ambiance in the evening. Ok, a bit noisy from time to time but that's not what you"ll remember. You'll remember the ambiance, the food, the nice people.
Furthermore Giualia is a great host. She helped us with all our questions and even arranged a spot where we could store our luggage on our last day. Perfect!
The apartment might not have much personal touch. But we didn't really mind, we spent 95% of our time outside, in the city, and we had a great time.
