We absolutely loved Nicola for our needs as a family!
Meeting Nicola was great: he gave us lots of time to explain everything about the flat and also took so much care in showing lots of things, landmarks, helpful places (supermarkets, etc...), and even explained how to deal with the end of our trip (train station or coach station to make our way to Treviso airport at the end of our stay, what company to use, prices etc... this is far and beyond what you expect from a host and let me tell you: it made the end of our holidays so much easier! Thank you Nicola.).
Nicola was very flexible with checking out too and this again was greatly appreciated.
The flat: we loved it. There were 3 of us (mum, dad and 17 years old son) and yes, it might not be the biggest flat, but we knew exactly what to expect from the description and we knew we would go walking exploring Venice all day for 4 days and not stay indoor, hence it didn't bother us. We actually quite like how snug if felt. It is a very well designed and appointed flat, very practical. What we wanted more than anything was having the windows giving onto a canal and this was just wonderful! We loved that!
Having a washing machine was great as we were reaching the end of a 2 week holiday in Croatia and Venice. We put the washing on one evening, put it out to dry in the entrance hall and it was pretty much dried when we woke up in the morning.
We didn't cook at all as we wanted to make the most of the Venitian life but there is everything provided in the kitchen to allow you to cook a meal.
The beds were very good and we slept really well. We were happy with the bathroom too.
All in all, we were extremelly happy with our 4-day stay in Nicola's flat and we hope our review will help you make a good educated choice and pick this one.
It is so easy to get anywhere from the flat and so very safe. Venice is very safe anyway. We had been there several times before but first time for our son and it was a big hit for him and so was the flat!
Nicola, thank you so much for everything you did for us, your time and all your valuable pieces of advice. Best regards from Sophie, Simon and Thomas.
