Lucia and Riccardo’s apartment was even better than we had imagined. Communication with Lucia was easy, and she provided very clear instructions on checking in. The apartment was spotlessly clean and the hot water was abundant! That was so appreciated since hot water and comfortable showers can be harder to find in some Italian apartments!
The terrace was so lovely! Though it was a bit chilly when we were in Venice so we didn’t spend as much time there as we had planned, it provided a lovely vista over the canals. Several evenings we were treated to impromptu concerts as singing gondoliers passed under our window.
The location of the apartment was perfect! Venice is a very walkable city, and the apartment is in good proximity to San Marco and the Rialto area. There is easy access to the vaporetto with a stop just around the corner. With that convenient access to sites and transportation, we still felt that we were a bit off the beaten path, which was exactly what we were looking for.
Lucia provided great recommendations for places to eat, ranging from special splurge restaurants to everyday trattorias to bars for cicchetti and an aperitivo.
We will be recommending this apartment to any friends and family who will be heading to Venice, and we hope to return to this beautiful apartment ourselves!
