A nice sized apartment for Venezia, where you'll find space is more at a premium. Plenty of room for our family of 5, and 2 bathrooms, so no waiting to get in. You are right above the Tonolo bakery, which many Venezia hosts recommend as one of the best in Venezia, so definitely take advantage of that. And enjoy the views of the Friari church from your window. Location is really nice, just 10 minutes walk from the train station (once you are familiar with the way), and less than 5 minutes from a vaporetto stop, where both #1 and #2 lines stop. Communicating with Alessandro went very smooth prior to our trip, and he met us to take us to the apartment when we arrived, which is huge if it's your first time in Venezia, as navigating the city is like a maze. Alessandro spent a lot of time at check in giving us tips where to eat and places to visit and marking their location on the map, Tip: Use the map he gives you for all your navigation. Forget Google Maps. Allessandro's map, with every little passageway clearly marked, is the best way to go. While the central/tourist areas of Roma and Firenze feel safe, Venezia feels much more so. And thanks to this apartment being away from the main tourist areas, noise and excessive crowds are not an issue. Tip 2: Make use of that close Vaporetto stop. Places like San Marco look close on the map, but take much longer once you factor in the twists and turns. Just hop on the Vaporetto and be dropped off right there.
