As a family of 6 we enjoyed the apartment, it was spacious enough and modern inside with a well appointed kitchen. The apartment is conveniently located near the San Zaccaria Vaporetto stop, in a quieter area in Castello, allowing a much appreciated calmer experience of daily life in Venice.The combination of the location of the apartment being just outside the busy tourist zone of San Marco, and still near enough to the key attractions worked well for us. We had to over 75 year olds in our party that did not find the stairs to the apartment nor the stairs to the balcony to be prohibitive. As long as a sturdy hand rail is available the stairs are do able. For our next visit to Venice we just need to dial in a bit better to the rhythm of the refuse removal process. This happens a bit different in Venice.
