We spent a week at Olga's place in March -- my husband and I in the smaller apartment, and his daughter and son-in-law with their three young children in the larger. The arrangements could not have been more perfect for our needs. Each family unit had its own separate space, but the kids could easily run back and forth between us. Having the garden was great; the kids were thrilled to find 2 of the 4 tortoises, just up from their hibernation. The location of the apartment is superb -- a short walk to a water bus in one direction and the regular bus station in the other, and less that half an hour's walk to San Marco, yet quiet and residential. It really felt like coming home at the end of a day of sightseeing. Olga and her team were extremely welcoming, attentive and responsive. I definitely recommend following Olga's advice about travel arrangements from the airport. Apartments in Venice are never easy to locate, and with Giora's help, our arrival was seamless. I also recommend reading Olga's guide to the apartment. We especially appreciated her tip about 'the Cartier of vegetable stores' around the corner. I would add a great cocktail bar not too far away: Il Mercante. We found the the photos and descriptions of Olga's place to be completely accurate. Highly recommended.
