Apartment is very centrally located, very quiet, and bright, and a few steps from one of the main arteries: Strada Nuova. Some gondolas even pass by on the canal, just in front of the apartment. The apartment itself is very clean, comfortable and is nicely furnished, exactly as can be seen in the pictures. The bed is a king size, although described as a double, and is also very comfortable. The washroom is nice and perfectly sized. The kitchen is small but functional. We even had the chance to prepare one whole meal in it.
We even thought to ourselves that the apartment is a perfect “pied-a-terre” in Venice. We were glad to come back to it at the end of every day.
The hosts allowed us to check in early. We were greeted with a bottle of Prosecco, fruits and biscuits.
Not enough nice words can be used to describe the hosts, Finn and Loredana. We only had interaction with Finn and we can say that he is the nicest and most sincerely helpful host we have ever met. He goes out of his way to help you in any way he can, and always ready to do so. And he responds very quickly to all messages. What we really appreciate about Finn is that what he does seems to come directly from his heart and never seems contrived. He even voluntarily offered his knowledge on wines, food and restaurants, and everything else that he thinks you need. He helped make our stay much more enjoyable than it could have been.
We even took him up on his offer to use his niece as a guide to Venice. She is a very pleasant, personable and knowledgeable person, who is well versed in the medieval history of Venice. Although we read quite a bit on the history of Venice, she still managed to teach us quite a few things.
Thank you very much, Finn and Loredana, for being the perfect hosts, and for maintaining the apartment in its current condition.
