We stayed in the spacious Fenice II B apartment for 4 nights in September and had an absolutely perfect stay. Having spent a great amount of time searching for the perfect apartment in Venice, for I know the importance your home base can make toward the success of your experience in any particular place, I feel we couldn't have settled on a more perfect choice. Thierry made us feel incredibly welcome and comfortable to contact him with any questions throughout our stay (although we didn't have to bug him too much for all of our needs were accommodated for and fulfilled from the get go!). I visited Venice with my sister and her husband and so I slept on the pull out sofa in the living room as they took the bedroom. I have to say, it was by far the most comfortable pull out I've ever slept on! The apartment as a hole was spotlessly clean, bright, boasted high ceilings and suited our every need. The two bathrooms, one en suite to the bedroom, were well stocked, clean and really beautifully designed. The apartment also boasted excellent (and I have traveled to many places in the world that boasted 'free wifi' but quality and connection have been very poor, so I mean "excellent" when I say it) wifi! From a welcome bottle of prosecco in our fridge to the fresh bouquet of flowers in the living area, we felt extremely welcome and happy with our reception to this perfect apartment in the heart of Venice. It was much appreciated and very helpful to have coffee, apples, etc stocked in the kitchen and pantry to get us started before we could get to the market. The apartment also comes equipped with a washing machine for clothes, such an unexpected treat and perfect for freshening up our clothes before heading off to our next Italian destination. Thierry was kind enough to supply us with laundry detergent during our stay as well. Sitting on the window ledge and watching the perfectly beautiful square the apartment overlooked wake up whilst drinking my freshly made Bialetti espresso each morning is a fond memory. Speaking of which, the location of the apartment was so perfect...on one of the most beautiful piazzas in Venice and literally looking directly out on the famous and stunning Teatro la Fenice (one of the most famous opera houses in Europe). I had the pleasure to attend one evening and it's an experience not to be missed...especially when it's located steps from your front door! The apartment is located equidistant between Piazza San Marco and the Rialto Bridge, allowing for easy access to main attractions while also being able to get away from the mass of tourist crowds in those respective immediate areas. It was always such a reprieve to wander the endless network of alleys and walkways of Venice and then emerge into the open air, peace, and beauty of our "home piazza". I cannot recommend this apartment enough.
