I arrived on the 11th November 2011 for my birthday weekend. I was staying 2 nights. It took us a long time to find as Venice is very tricky with its back streets and confusing postal street system but when I eventually arrived. (Do your knowledge of the streets before you go) I was not disappointed. I met the owner and he advised me would I be ok with an apartment situated just round the corner. In the back of my head I was thinking hmmm?! I arrived at my apartment and my jaw dropped. Situated in a tiny back street I felt I was in true Venice and living with the locals in which I was. It was clean, rustic and the best thing was on Sunday morning I would open my windows and here church bells ringing. I would recommend this to a friend. The owner was very friendly and spoke good English. I have fallen in Love with Venice and will return. Don't let the off the tourist track put you off as we were more adventurous and got lost but you won't care because every corner you turn you find something even more beautiful. It's about 10 - 15 minute walk from St Marks Square.
