This was a great choice for us in Venice! The host gave us easy to follow directions from the bus station to take the water taxi (only 2 stops away), and directions to the apt. Located in a quaint quiet alley, it was very clean, comfortable, lovely victorian chic decor, large space w/ a 2nd large room fit for another to stay in, my bf & I had the whole place to ourselves. Walk a few steps through alleys and buildings, you find yourself in the middle of a busy street w/ restaurants/cafes/shopping (much more affordable vs St. Marc sq area), there was a terrific gelato spot we went everyday. Walking distance to Rialto Bridge, St. Marc Sq, etc... walking was a great way to explore Venice on your way to attractions. Kitchen available for use to share with other guests in the building. Highly recommend!
