The apartment is very conveniently located only steps away from the Rialto vaporetto stop. Cristina and Desire were very accommodating as we arrived early, around 11am, which was not an issue. The rooftop terrace is truly unique and a great place for drinks! The stairs are really not an issue if you are fit. Be aware that the bed is really short, so if you are tall, like us, your feet will hang out. Overall, we would definitely recommend this apartment as it is an important element that contributed to our fantastic stay in Venice.
