Great place to stay. Paola and her family met us as planned and made us feel very welcome. The apartment is ideal for exploring any part of Venice as it's two minutes walk from the Rialto Mercato Vaporetto stop (so 10 mins by Vaporetto to St Mark's square and most major attractions). It has a wide range of food shops, bakeries, cafes and restaurants within a minute or two's walk and the shop next door is ideal for groceries. It is a two minute walk to the wonderful Rialto vegetable and fish markets. The apartment has all you need for your stay - well equipped kitchen, cosy sitting room/diner, lovely double bedroom and good shower room. It has high ceilings and is well furnished. It's also quiet here at night so no problem sleeping. We would certainly stay here again as we couldn't have been better located.
