Jacopos place is a perfect base for a trip to Venice. It’s very close to bus, train and water taxi station which makes it very easy with loads of luggage. It’s private and quiet at night as it’s out of the main part of the city. It’s a little dark with not much natural light but when your out most of the day that didn’t bother us. The walk to st Marc’s square and Rialto is a good 20-30min walk especially when it’s busy but it’s lovely to stroll and see all the beautiful little ally ways and shops on the way. If you want to get there quick and easy the water taxi is literally 5 mind down the path. We didn’t meet jacopo but his brother was extremely helpful and informed us of the free terrace to view all of Venice which we would not have known about otherwise. Would defiantly recommend this apartment.
