Fantastic stay. Francesca met us off the Alilaguna boat (instructions to get to the apartment were great) and showed us the apartment, which was even better than it looks in the photos! The apartment is very modern and has everything you need - the TV even had some channels in English which was a bonus as all TV is dubbed rather than subtitled usually. Francesca explained how everything worked and then took us for a walk around the area to show us where the supermarket was and recommended some local restaurants and bars. She also went over the map of Venice showing us areas of interest and answering all our questions.
The little canal running under the windows was great and later in the afternoon we heard singing and looked out and all the gondolas with the singers on them were passing underneath our window!!
We had a problem with the washing machine and rang Maurizio and he came around straight away (a long trip for him) to sort it out for us. Couldn't ask for better service.
The bed was comfortable, shower hot and strong, all the fixtures and fittings were modern and in great condition - this place is much better than we imagined. Heating and cooling were modern and efficient.
Located right next to San Marco with easy access to ferry stops and all the attractions, but away from the noise and bustle. Easy to walk to San Polo or Cannaregio to get into the more local areas. This would have to be one of the best places to stay in Venice with great owners! Thanks for a antastic stay!
