Perfect apartment with a magnificent view! If you do not mind the 5th floor (with no elevator), then this is a fabulous place. The culture built in to Boldu Terrace is stunning and charming. The authentic feel makes staying in Venice special.
About Venice:
We visited Paris, Rome, Venice, & the Almafi Coast on our trip. Venice was, by far, our favorite stop. The breathe-taking views and picturesque scenery are around every corner, literally. If you are trying to decide whether or not to visit Venice, do it!!!!! If you can arrive by train, it is even easier. You step off the train, and there you are.
If you arrive into Marco Polo Airport, you’ll be OK too.
Water Taxi:
ACTV Vaporetto. Go to their website, create a passenger, choose your length of stay, pretty easy.
From the apartment, you are a 5 minute walk to a water taxi station in 2 directions. The water taxi system takes a little time (or questioning) to figure out, but once you figure it out, it is simple.
Upon arrival, we did not have any trouble finding the place. The instructions were clear. Carrying your luggage up 5 flights of stairs was a workout, but you only have to do it once, and the gentleman who checked us in offered to help.
One fun note: Venice only has one McDonalds, and it serves a fabulous landmark to find your apartment. You are only 3 minutes and 2 easy turns from McDonalds. I did not buy anything there, but it helped me find my coordinates for my entire stay. I could GPS “McDonalds” and find my way home from any location in Venice.
