The quiet location away from crowds is appreciated. The apartment has everything we needed to make meals, and relax after our busy day in Venice. We enjoyed Murano, as it is less crowded, and a short vaporetto ride away from Venice. Giampaolo, our Italian host, was gracious & communicated with us as best he could, as he states "he has limited English", but we were fine with his English. He is a famous artist, and we enjoyed his art throughout our stay, as he has decorated the apartment with his oil paintings & glass art. Just a note to those who book for 2 people, you either get one bed to share, or you need to book for three people to get the extra beds in the 2nd room, or pay upon arrival additional euros per night. And remember to pay the Italian tax of 4 euros per person per night in cash during stay.
