My wife and I didn't chose this apartment when we made our travel plans. The apartment we had chosen had been sold and we were switched to this one at the last moment. You can understand that we were a bit trepidatious to see it. But we needn't have been. The place was absolutely lovely. In fact, Ca' Dei Carpini is the nicest apartment we've ever rented through VRBO (and we've been doing this for years). The place was clean, newly renovated and had every amenity we could have wanted. The Wi-Fi worked flawlessly, there was not just a washer, there was a washer/dryer. The kitchen was more than adequate for our modest needs... pastas and salads. There was a new TV, though I can't imagine a reason to turn on a television when you're in Venice. The location was a tiny bit out of the way, but it was close to a vaporetto stop and the vaporetti can take you anywhere you want to go in Venice. And being out of the way, it was nice and quiet. Perhaps nicest of all was the lovely Maria who took us to the apartment and provided us with advice on the local shopping and restaurants. She was available any time we had a question or problem, though we never had a problem. We've already told her that we will look for her and Ca' Dei Carpini the next time we come to Venice, hopefully next year.
