Anna’s place is funky, spacious and away from all the tourist craziness near San Marco’s square. I loved my days here; there’s cute restaurants, bars and gelaterias close by, and all the amazing sights like Basilica San Marco are 20-30 minute walks away (accounting for church-admiring, gondola-watching, map-checking, and window shopping on the way).
The apartment is a little ways off a canal (!swoon) and the room is big, with large windows looking onto a shared garden. There’s also a private bathroom, and a shared living room and kitchen (with a jar of cookies... munch munch munch).
I didn’t meet Anna, who was traveling, too, but her friend Sammy who let me in was hilarious and gave me great food recommendations— esp, go to Taverna al Remer for happy hour.
I can’t wait to come back.
