This apartment is in a perfect spot with incredible views and facilities. The location is great - walkable to the train/bus stations within 15 mins and less to San Toma vaporetto stop. Loads of bars and restaurants nearby and less touristy and busy than near St Marks square. We took a private water taxi from Marco Polo airport on arrival because it is so much more picturesque to arrive by water (and our 5 year old - as we correctly predicted - was getting exhausted after our long journey from England, so wanted to get there as quickly as possible) Aglaia recommends transport companies after booking. We had a smooth check in with our greeter Giulia as Aglaia was out of town, and communication was efficient and friendly. We knew that if we had any problems we could contact either of them. The place was sparkling clean and comfortable and we would definitely recommend it. You don’t hear any street noise in the bedrooms and there is double glazing and air con installed.
We took our 5 year old daughter with us (if they are under 6 they can travel free on the vaporetti) and had a great time on Burano island where all the houses are coloured, and also went up the bell tower at San Giorgio Maggiore because it has a lift. We also took her little Micro kick scooter which was useful some of the time (but were careful not to let hers scoot in St Marks square as a parent was fined for letting their child do that). So if you’re considering taking a small child, do it - but wait until they are out of a buggy.
