The apartment is situated in a very quiet street in San Marco. It is not easy to find as it is not named on Gogol maps, but that is probably true for many small streets in Venice. In about 5 minutes you can walk to the streets around St Mark's Square and it is close to the most pretty part of Venice around La Fenice. You can also walk to the Accademia gallery/bridge/water bus etc in less than 5 minutes.
We enjoyed the locality and the only noises are pleasant ones such as the church bells and the children in the nearby school. In the next street and squares there are a selection of shops, bars and restaurants. There are 2 supermarkets, and an excellent bakery (Majer), about a 10 minute walk away. Overall the area is very nice.
The apartment is on 2 floors with its own street entrance. Upstairs there is a very nice bedroom with a comfortable large double bed, and outside the bedroom is a large shaded terrace with tables and chairs which is a very nice place to have coffee or breakfast.
Downstairs there is a bathroom and a living room with a kitchen area. The kitchen is basic but has good facilities including dishwasher, washing machine, oven/hob/microwave/coffee machine (pods). The apartment has 2 smart TVs, and a small desk area if you want to work (but we didn't!). There isn't really anywhere to sit comfortably in the living room if you did want to watch TV, as the only sofa is a pull out daybed. The bathroom is modern and stylish with a good shower. It was clean and there was a generous supply of towels.
Communication was OK, usually brief and to the point in response to questions. Davide wasn't aware that tourists only pay the tourist tax for the first 5 consecutive nights, even if they change accommodation during their stay, and initially asked us to pay too much. However, he did agree to reduce the amount once this rule was pointed out so I am sure that this won't be a problem for future guests.
Entry to the apartment is provided by a coded lock and you receive the code only on the day of arrival after the previous guest has left, for obvious reasons. Combined with the lack of maps data, this caused some anxiety, but the apartment definitely exists and it is a good place to stay.
We had a good stay.
Thank you Davide
