This apartment was perfect! Spacious, tastefully upgraded and decorated. But what put the experience over the top was our host, Giovanna. She and her husband Giovanni were so helpful, whether it was a map and cell phone charger, dinner recommendations or help with navigating between the apartment and the airport/train - they were beyond wonderful and accommodating!
There are great restaurants and bars very close by and we had a fabulous dinner at Hopera - charcuterie, carbonara and a margherita pizza. It was a welcome relief to be away from crowds when it was time to rest and recover. I’d recommend ear plugs just in case you’re a light sleeper. The church bells ring often and there’s a sports court nearby with children playing but we also chose to sleep with open windows. We would definitely want to stay here again if we come back to Venice. 10 out of 10.
