This place is first class. There are a lot of stairs to climb to access the apartment, but it is located in the heart of Venice and and you can walk to The Doge Palace, amazing restaurants and close to the Water transit dock. It was very easy to get there, even for these travel novices. This place is impeccable. Our host was easy to contact and met us at the Rialto Mercado. It is clean and comfortable with all the amenities it boasts online. The little courtyard deck is so charming as is all the decor. Next time we hope to stay for a longer stretch.
