Located between the Grand Canal a few steps from St Marks Square this comfortable apartment exceeded the advertised description. In an alley within an alley we entered through two large wooden doors into an anteroom a step below the apt. entrance. We were told that the morning tide would rise to the bottom of that step. The next morning it did just that. Several pairs of rubber waders were left out out for that purpose. Nicola and his architect brother and their artist father have restored this two level Eighteenth Century apartment with superb attention to detail with comfort and function in mind. The first floor has a full function kitchen a large inlaid wooden table with comfortable seating for six. in the corner of this room are two single beds with large cushion for seating or even sleeping. The master bedroom with ample closets and drawer space and full bath with Jacuzzi are on the second floor. Nicola Could not have been more helpful in getting us settled in. This family operates a gallery of the work of their Father opposite the back of the building. We had a very comfortable stay here while we were in Venice
