This apartment is SO beautiful—like the brand-new boutique hotel (in a many-hundreds-year-old building, so--still tons of historic charm), with the most modern possible amenities (fanciest, totally luxurious showers), located in the greatest neighborhood. It's far enough from the madness of San Marco (maybe a 20ish-minute walk?) so you can catch your breath (and not be crushed against a wall by a tour group), yet very near to the far preferable Campo San Margherita, and the bustling evening cicchetti scene on the canals just off the Zattere. A pair of cute local cafes are just downstairs, and the vaporetto stop, from which you can travel everywhere, is one block away. The location is also very easy in-and-out from the city (if you're dropped by car). Silvia and Desiree were prompt, warm, helpful, understanding (when we broke a key in the lock, for example). They gave us great sightseeing advice; in our 48 hours, we saw a very special side of the city, thanks to them. We will be definitely be back. 100 Stars!!!!
