You can get to within a short walk on the Vaperetto or almost to the door with a water taxi. The location, just off St Stefano Plaza is just perfect. A short but beautiful walk to St Marks, but better still just steps away from the Academia Bridge. The walk up to the Rialto takes just 10 mins stroll. No hardship. This apartment is well placed, probably better than most. Host and his professional team are user friendly and good communications. Nice roomy apartment and would go back given the chance to return to Venice. I suspect if you are reading this, you have spent hours trawling through your choices. Save yourself a headache and just go ahead an book it. Sorted.
