I’m normally one to read reviews and not write them...but this stay was beyond expectations! The hosts, not to single just one, were 5 stars. Communication was fantasic and was availablei in mutiple ways, email, text and phone. They arranged all travel from mainland pick up via Mercedes van to private water taxi to front door. And yes, the pictures are true and the purple chair exists! (I couldn’t get my 10 year old son out of it every morning for myself to enjoy). There is not only one window with the view but several that can be viewed with the gondola’s and taxis floating by. The apartment is equipped with everything and you only need to bring your toothbrush. Modern appliances and furniture are top quality. The hosts provide a wealth of information and even provided for a private water taxi tour of the island of Murano and private glass factory tour (not a tourist one with 15 people around and someone trying to sell you expensive glass). Check-in and Check-out are smooth and the hosts are right on time to the minute your arrange with them. I wish I had all my friends traveling to Venezia to recommend this 5 Star accommodation!!!
