Where do we start? This apartment was the perfect place for our time in Venice. If we were staying in Venice again I would not even bother searching for other listings. The location is very convenient between St. Mark's and the Rialto Bridge. Although it is necessary to carry your bags up a couple flights of stairs, we did not find this cumbersome. There are not any bridges between the Alilaguna stop and the apartment, which was very nice since we had several large suitcases. We felt very safe in this location. All the reviews about the singing Gondaliers were correct. 🎶 We were immediately charmed by that treat. Frederico provided some restaurant recommendations that were very appreciated. The apartment itself was extremely clean and well kept One tip- if you are not planning on having an international phone plan, you can easily sit down at a café near the Rialto Bridge which provides free Wi-Fi and use Wi-Fi calling if your service provider allows it. This allowed Frederico to get in touch with us when it was time to check in.
