The apartment is in a great location, very central but away from the tourist crowds, we felt instantly at home. Everything you need is close by from a supermarket and bakery, gelateria and cafes, a floating grocery barge and some excellent restaurants. From the apartment it is just a short walk to everything you would want to explore in Venice and if you want to go further the Vaporetto is round the corner. Unfortunately we could not meet Ugo this time as he was working but he arranged for a friend to meet us in the nearby square who let us in and show us how everything worked. The apartment is very well equipped, the beds are comfortable and everything was clean. We would definitely recommend this apartment for a family visiting Venice and hope one day we might get the chance to return to this beautiful city.
