This apartment was even more beautiful in person! My family was wow'ed by how modern the design was. The cool stone flooring and the AC were much appreciated in the July heat. The amenities with the hair dryer, laundry, coffee maker were all put to use. Simone even provided champagne, juice, snacks, coffee and tea, which was just above and beyond. Location wise it was also excellent. Just off of a main street that you'll get on after exiting the train station and turning left, no more than a 5 minute walk with no bridges to cross (key if you have a lot of luggage). Google maps app had a little trouble recognizing the street name, so be sure to print a map before you go. It is close to a vaporetto station as well, so if you do not want to wander for 20-25 minutes to get to San Marco Square, you can take in the view from the boat. The next time I'm in Venice with a group of 6, I am definitely going to stay Simone's apt!
