Antonella’s place is an absolute gem - if you want to experience Venice like a Venetian, this is where you want to stay away from the hustle and bustle of tourist crowds at San Marco but also a very reasonable 15min walk there. We got to explore less visited parts of Venice such as seeing a bridge without a railing (we understand this is the only one of two left - the other being in Torcello). Also close to the boat stops - we took the Alilaguna boat in from the airport and it’s only 5 minutes away from the apartment.
Antonella was amazing at communicating with us, meticulous and made the check in and overall experience very easy. The place was clean and there were little touches such as water, juice and some breakfast snacks that was so thoughtful so we didn’t have to worry after a long flight.
But best of all is the million-dollar view of the canal from the balcony. We could’ve sat admiring it for the whole stay if charming, historic Venice did not beckon.
