We had a wonderful time staying in Venice, and this apartment provided us with an excellent base and starting point for our days out. The area is (as promised) very calm and well off the beaten track.
The apartment is perfect for a couple and we found it tidy and welcoming, especially after climbing those stairs! The rooms are spacious and light. The situation is very peaceful and we were never disturbed. Michele pointed us to great restaurants within 10 minutes walk, and we found some great bars for breakfast and for before and after dinner. The area just north has good local bakeries, veg shops and a supermarket. It felt like we were in a real city, surrounded by locals, not just in a fairy tale.
It’s a shame we didn’t get to meet Michele, however communication has been very pleasant.
