This place had fantastic reviews and we could immediately see why. The location couldn’t be more perfect - it’s away from the crazy busy tourist areas of San Marco and surrounds, but so near to lively bars and restaurants frequented by locals.
We had three kids with us and enjoyed meandering through the maze of alleyways to see San Marco square, the Rialto bridge, etc. It’s around 15-20 mins to those areas though, so if you don’t like walking, take note! For us, it was no problem and there was a relief in returning to our little pocket of quiet at the end of each day. We had our best meals in Venice in this area as well - and often for half the price of the more touristy areas!
It’s worth noting that the stairs up to the apartment are steep and narrow. This wasn’t so much an issue for us, but could be for anyone with a mobility issue. We also recommend reading Daniela’s welcome manual for great tips and clear instructions on rubbish disposal which we understand is an issue right across Venice (but also makes for wonderfully clean streets!)
The apartment itself is bright, spacious and has air-con in each room which was much appreciated! The balcony has a terrific view onto a canal and the amenities are modern and clean.
Last but not least, Daniela was wonderfully responsive to any questions we had and recommended a terrific baggage porter, Davide, to help us with our luggage to the train station. His assistance was worth every penny!
Thanks Daniela for a wonderful stay.
