This was the perfect place for our first visit to Venice. Dario met us upon check-in and showed us around. He speaks perfect English and is quite helpful. He was very responsive to any questions I had prior to arrival. It was really neat being right there on the canal. My daughters loved watching the boats go by each morning. There is a cute pub right across the canal and a little cafe right outside the front door. You will find everything you need in the apartment if you want to cook or wash some clothes. The AC works great which is always a bonus! The interior is nicely decorated and was the perfect size for a family of 4. Many shops and restaurants are within walking distance, that includes two grocery stores. The water bus is also a short walk and you can get around easily on that. We will definitely stay here the next time we visit Venice. It’s one of our favorite spots in Italy so far!
