We stayed at Residenza de l'Osmarin for four nights and had a great time in Venice! The apartment is very roomy, well equipped, comfortable, and conveniently located (just a few minutes walk from St. Mark's Square. Maria (the owner) and Lorenzo were wonderful hosts. They helped us navigate from the train station via a water taxi (which they arranged for us) and then met us at the water front to guide us back to the apartment. They were super helpful with tips on restaurants, things to see, etc. And breakfast was great as well. You don't typically find a music system in a hotel or B&B, but Maria provides a CD player and a selection of Italian music (like Vivaldi) so you can sip your Prosecco, listen to music and watch the gondola's glide by on the canal just outside your window. Doesn't get much better than that :)
