Location is everything with Roberto's apartment - it's amazing! We loved sitting in the kitchen and on the front step with a glass of wine watching the gondolas go past. We were there during the heat and hectic-ness of Venice in August so it was great to have this little air-conditioned bolthole to escape to, tucked down a quiet alleyway off a square. The sofa bed was comfortable and our daughter loved sleeping in the cosy mezzanine. Communication with Roberto was excellent and check in was straightforward. Recommended for a real Venice experience.
