My family of four visited Venice for 3 nights and stayed in this gorgeous apartment. What a treat!.
To start with, the apartment is only a 5 minute walk from the train station and is easy to get to, even with loads of luggage. Simone greeted us at the apartment and helped carry our luggage up the 2 flights of stairs. Champagne, pastries and biscuits were waiting on the table (thank you Simone).
For us, the apartment was both beautiful and luxurious. All amenities were provided, and although kitchen staples were basic (oil but no vinegar!), we were very grateful for the delicious Illy ground coffee and the stainless steel stovetop espresso machine.
We felt very spoiled in this apartment - all kitchen equipment and furnishings are very high quality. Beds are very comfortable and even the sheets on the beds are super luxurious. The entire apartment is incredibly clean, classy and chic, and very tastefully decorated with gorgeous furniture, statues, artefacts and paintings.
The location is fantastic for seeing Venice. Open the shutters, stand on the little balcony and you can watch the river of people walking down the main street. We walked easily to San Marco and enjoyed exploring the back streets of Cannaregio.
We found the best coffee in Venice a few minutes down the street at Torrefazione Cannaregio.
We didn't see Simone after our arrival - he wasn't available when we left so we couldn't thank him personally.
Stay in Simone's lovely apartment - you will be very glad you did.
