This apartment has a great space and for us, it was a great location. We did not want to be located in the center of all the crazy tourist traffic around the Grand Canal so we choose The Duorsoduro area and we were not disappointed. We were able to walk anywhere we needed to go in Venice within 15-20 minutes. Once we had figured out how to get places (definitely the toughest part in Venice) we were able to walk to St. Mark's Square in 15 minutes or less. It was nice to be able to walk into the craziness that was the St. Mark's Square area but then be able to go back to our apartment where there weren't all the crowds. The actual apartment itself is nice. There is an area with the bed, chair, and tv. Then there is the kitchen area with a small table and a nice sized bathroom. This apartment had the largest shows by far of anywhere we stayed in Italy. In most of our apartments I could barely turn around in the shower, this apartment has a much larger shower which was a nice change. James did a great job of communicating with us and his directions for checking in to the apartment were perfect. We had no trouble following his directions to catch a vaparetto, which dropped us off right next to the apartment. The only thing that could be a downside for some people was that the apartment was on the fourth floor, so there was a decent number of stairs to reach it. If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the Grand Canal this is a great choice.
