We had a wonderful experience in Venice and recommend staying in San Marco. It’s close to the sites and where you want to be... Alessia and Dimitri run this BnB very professionally and the apartment is very nice, clean and the beds are very comfortable. There were plenty of linens and supplies. The location was perfect and the rooftop patio was a nice touch. Though the rooftop doesn’t have a great view—it was nice place to relax.
The view from the apartment is perfect, looking into a small canal and overlooking a restaurant below. Here are the pros:
First—the apartment is awesome. Roomy and comfortable. But in addition:
1. The owners were great and organized our arrival which was very helpful and convenient
2. They communicated clearly and promptly and are super nice
3. They provided snacks and a nice map to get around and are very helpful with logistics and planning
Cons: there are steps to climb and the traditional little Italian coffee pot is useless. It’s pretty standard in Italy but it would have been nice to have a coffee maker inside that worked well. We would stay there again in a heartbeat.
