This was a really great place to stay. The apartment is very close to the market so you can buy fruits for breakfast (or even something more ambitious) and a 3 minute walk to the Rialto Market stop for the water taxi on the Grand Canal. Our arrival could not have been easier. We let Andrea know when we expected to arrive, I called him, and he buzzed us into the apartment remotely. The apartment is in a lively neighborhood, close to everything, but on a quiet narrow street so noise was not a problem.
