This is a great place to stay to see a lot of the big tourist attractions-the Doges Palace, San Marco and the piazza. Luisa-our host, went out of her way to make us comfortable, by telling us how to get to Venice from the airport, to meeting us at the boat stop and then explaining how to navigate the city and to get to the train station-all really important in Venice-a fun city but incredibly confusing!! I highly recommend this apartment-it was comfortable, clean, great location and wonderful host!!
