3 generations from teenage to pensioners enjoyed a fantastic week. With separate facilities for each generation we were afford just enough privacy yet enjoyed the expansive shared areas even more. The accommodation is on the top floor so would have been a problem had it not been for the quirky elevator which was something of a talking point. The whole place was spotlessly clean and with a separate fully equipped utility room there was no noise from appliances etc. The kitchen was exceptionally well appointed with more quality appliances to cater for every need. Whilst we were there the weather was mostly good so we tended to breakfast out on the huge verandah complete with pillars. The area was terrific, nearly no noise at all with stunning rough top views- there are few taller palazzos in Venice. That being said, the neighbourhood had just enough bars and restaurants to not have to venture far and also a great vegetable shop, Baker and supermarket close by. We stayed in Venice and the lidos previously and have had fantastic experiences every time but this apartment topped all others. Evelyn met us from the boat and walked us to the accommodation giving us a tour of the rooms and got us in for supper locally when the flight arrived quite late. She was informative, humorous and knowledgeable. I would say this accommodation was perfectly situated as St Marks, Rialto, the Ghetto and vaporetto stops were all within a stroll. I say stroll as you really must stroll in Venice. It is magical, truly unique and really should be on every bodies list of must sees. Venice is changing slightly, there are a few more
stalls selling t-shirts and tatty imports but avoid them and visit the established shops selling bona fide products that you can treasure. Visit the tourist traps for sure but stay local, and eat and drink with the locals in the evenings. You won't regret it.
