The apartment was very central. A wee bit tricky to find at first but I think that's normal for Venice because there are so many streets and alleys. Once you get your bearings, it's fine. Loads of shops and a supermarket nearby so stocking up with essentials is easy enough. Our room was clean and tidy and they offered room service every day. You have to climb 3 sets of stairs to get to the apartment which was quite daunting at first, especially with cases but you soon get used to it. We really enjoyed our stay!
