Me and my boyfriend spent a weekend in Adriano&Barbara’s apartment. We find it lovely as well as perfectly clean and equipped with everything we needed (soap, extra towels, city guides, umbrellas, waterproof shoes (those have been really helpful!!), WiFi).
The apartment is very close to the train station (5 min walking). The other main attractions are also at walkable distance. The area (Cannaregio) is less crowded that the city center but you can also find many restaurants and bars. Adriano was a perfect host, we communicated fine and he was very helpful in giving us tips about the city.
