We had a great experience at Ca' dell'Ambasciatore during our visit to Venezia. The location is fantastic - out of the really touristy area but within walking distance to San Marco - and the place itself is well-furnished and tastefully decorated. We loved visiting the bars and restaurants around the apartment and getting fresh fruit down the street. We got a very warm welcome from Ricardo. He pointed out some good spots to visit and was available for questions all the time. The hosts were also great about providing a crib for our young child and accommodating our kids. One negative for this place is that it is a bit noisy. The noise from the bar downstairs is understandable in a big city and with the windows and a/c it's not a big issue. But at times the noise from upstairs is a bit much. It wouldn't keep us from coming back but it does make sleeping times for kids much more difficult.
