From the moment our group of 4 adults arrived in Venice at this beautiful rental we were in for a real treat! Isabella is such a gracious and delightful hostess who made our stay at this rental more than we could have hoped for. She arranged for a water taxi for us to get to her rental and back to the train station, which we wouldn't have done any other way. She ensured we were well looked after with plenty of delicious coffee, internet access and great information on the area. It was comforting to know that she was only a minute away at their restaurant if we needed help. The apartment is much nicer than the pictures show and has been recently renovated. It has a beautiful view of the canal from each floor and is very comfortable. Is was exceptionally clean and had everything we could ever need. The bottle of prosecco wine was amazingly delicious and appreciated, as well as the washer and dryer (water extractor type) in the apartment as we made good use of them. It was such a nice touch to have a soft, comfy robe which we enjoyed wearing during our morning coffee, which came complete with a gerbera flower decoration on each. We appreciated all these little touches, the lovely canal view, the well stocked kitchens and beautiful bathrooms as well as the proximity to San Marco Square and walking distance to shopping and the grand canal so we could watch Americas Cup. Our one regret was that we didn't have enough time during our 2 night stay to eat at your restaurant. We will certainly do that the next time we are there! Don't look at any other rental after you find this one. Your search is now over! Thank you for everything! I feel we came to your apartment to meet a new friend too! Ciao Isabella!
