| Alain and Karen, thank you for allowing us to spend time in such a fabulous spot in Venice. The apartment is gorgeous, perfectly located, and we loved every minute we spent watching the water traffic on the Grand Canal. Although we couldn't meet you we enjoyed learning a little about you from the books in the apartment. Special thanks for recommending Al Bacareto. We will never forget the homemade tiramisu and dessert of Venetian biscuits with sticky wine. Bellissimo! Venice is a truly unforgettable experience. |

What a beautiful, romantic spot--the perfect Venetian
lover's nest. Cannot recommend it more highly! Stay
here and you won't feel the need to splurge on a
gondola ride. Lovely, quiet spot near the action but
not too near. Located in a residential neighborhood,
rather than a touristy area. |

Comment Text: We stayed at the apartment in late April and loved the location, as we are boat owners. Alain met us at the vaparetto stop and took us to the apartment, which was very gracious. Our first afternoon, we just sat outside gazing at the Grand Canal and watching the traffic, while sipping prosecco, provided by the owners (thank you again!). Campo San Stefano is a charming square with several restaurants, but removed from the crowded tourist area. A coffee shop, which we frequented each morning, is very close and the apartment was centrally located, but still very private. We were glad that Karen and Alain were in residence because they were very helpful with orienting us and other recommendations. We'll definitely be booking here again on our next trip to Venice, which, hopefully, will be next year!

| We just returned from our first trip to Italy; spent three glorious weeks in a magnificent country! In Venice, we stayed in Alain and Karen's suite on the Grand Canal.The location was just superb - watching the activity on the Canal was mesmerizing.When we did venture off the dock, everthing was so handy. Lovely restauarant a minute away, San Stefano Square three minutes away, walk to St. Mark's or Rialto. We were most fortunate to have Alain and Karen nearby - they are delightful and are both a wealth of information. We will return to the suite as soon as possible!!! |

| Friends told us about their stay here and we're so glad they did. What a cozy little spot and it was great fun watching the variety of boat activity from our own private dock with our morning coffee. The location couldn't be more convenient yet away from the major crowds and we thoroughly enjoyed the charm of the local campo. Thank you so much Alain for calling us from Paris and accommodating our stay the very next day. It was perfect, except for not having met you and Karen. |

| This was the perfect place for us to kick off our trip to Italy! Alain was incredibly detailed in his instructions to us re: how to get from the Marco Polo airport and took all of the guesswork out of navigating through Venice. We were even personally met at the Water Taxi dropoff! Even if you don't speak a word of Italian, you'll be perfectly at home staying here and one of the best meals we had on our entire trip came from the restaurant just a stone's throw from the front door. Being right on the Grand Canal was amazing....we woke up to the sounds of the water and misc. activity outside but it was never a nuisance. Plus, you can take a Gondola ride home at the end of the day....right to your own private dock! We had a blast here...thanks again Alain! |

Ciao Karen and Alain,
Our trip to Italy was absolutely wonderful but it started out so great staying with you all. We truly loved our accomodations - especially having our Tea and Wine on the dock - watching all of the activities on the Grand Canal. Your home was so convenient to everything...dining,deli, and seeing all of the sites in Venice. This suite makes you feel that you are a Venetian not just a tourist. Thanks for your hospitality.
Fondly,
Lynn and George |
