This is a wonderful apartment and it is even better than it looks in the photos. We stayed for 4 nights with our 11 and 9 year old children, and the location is perfect for walks to explore. The apartment was spotlessly clean. The beds are very comfortable, the kitchen is well equipped with high quality appliances, dishware and utensils. The air conditioning welcomes you home from long walks throughout Venice.
Sandra met us at the Rialto Mercato vaporetto stop and gave us excellent tips on great restaurants, sightseeing walks and gelato shops. Birreria La Corte, in the Campo San Polo had excellent, reasonably priced food - the best item was the Pistachio meatball appetizer - and Antico Gatoleto was excellent. The gelato at "White" is serve yourself and then weigh it, although the gelato at Suso was even better. The best advice is to get off the main tourist paths and explore Venice - there are wonderful finds throughout the city. We found a free exhibit of pottery and glass work near the
Scuola Grande di San Rocco and several art exhibits by the Gallerie dell'Accademia. I went out one morning before sunrise and the streets were empty, save for the men who clean the streets so well every day. Watching the sun rise near the Grand Canal by Piazza San Marco was thrilling.
