Our whole family, 2 adults and 2 kids, aged 9 and 7 from San Francisco, loved our stay at Pietro's home in Venice. Pietro was a fantastic host and communicated with us early and often in advance of our stay. He was also very flexible as we had to change our dates due to a conflict - his flexibility was greatly appreciated. Rita met us at the apartment and showed us around which was nice of her - we had no problems our whole stay.

The apartment is spacious especially after you walk around Venice and realize how space is at a premium in the city. Having 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, a kitchen and a living room allowed us to relax and feel like we actually lived in Venice rather than staying at a hotel. The location was convenient 15 minute walk from the train station - you walk everywhere in Venice so get used to it. There was a fantastic sandwich shop 5 minutes away and a great pasta shop 2 minutes walking. Definitely want to come back to Venice in the future and explore the city again.
