The location was excellent. We loved being so close to San Marco square, the ferries, good restaurants and many shops. It was wonderful to retreat to the roof top and watch the world go by. Being fit middle aged women we managed to get breakfast and evening wine and nibbles up the steep stairs without spillage:) We ate out most nights, but could easily have cooked and sat upstairs every night. Fabulous atmosphere! The double bed was comfy, (the bunk bed was OK). We didn't try the sofa bed. When the weather turned it was nice and warm inside and we had a much needed spa after a long day walking. I was worried about getting lost in Venice, but this apartment was so easy to find and get to from the ferry. Of course there are no lifts, so we were glad we decided to travel light. (It is worth noting that in Winter there is the very occasional King tide. The square and streets flood, so you need to time your arrival and departure well or wear plastic cover shoes that you can buy and carry your bags. It was so easy to get the ferry from the airport to San Marco station - and so beautiful:) Loved it!
