Wonderful stay. The apartment's location is outstanding - canal views out all windows. It is so fun to watch the gondolas go by. There is a gondola stop very close to the apartment where you can ride right past the apartment, and there are no crowds at that stop. The apartment is so close to San Marco square yet in a cozy location away from too much commotion. It is also right across the canal from Teatro la Fenice if you enjoy theater. Very close to a vaporetto stop where the host met us and brought us to the apartment. Not a bad walk to Rialto. Close to a grocery store. Plenty of restaurants and shopping nearby. The air conditioning is fantastic - the only place we stayed during our time in Italy that we actually felt cool by the AC. There is a rooftop deck that has fantastic views - a great place to enjoy a glass of wine in the evening or coffee in the morning. The hot water lasts - we had the dishwasher and two showers going and never lost hot water. Beautiful interior, spacious rooms. Very well decorated. Very responsive hosts and very helpful - we got great information about eating, sights, and travel to the airport. You do have to climb two flights of stairs to get to the apartment, and some of the stairs are a bit uneven, but it is only really a bit difficult when navigating with luggage. We were two adults with 13 and 16 year old daughters and everyone had enough space and comfort. We all loved it and have already recommended the apartment to potential travelers.
