The apartment is located right in the center of Venice, a few steps from Rialto Bridge. Yet, since it's on a little side street, it was very quiet. The apartment was bigger than we expected, and the five of us (two parents and three kids) were very comfortable there during our ten-day stay in Venice. The washing machine was a big plus. Yes, there are several flights of stairs, but if the apartment would have been on a lower floor, it would have surely been much more expensive. And there is a nice view of the rooftops!
