My family and I (3 adults, 1 teenager) were visiting Venice for the first time and really enjoyed our stay in Paola’s apartment. It was roomy, very clean, and we loved that the refrigerator was stocked with snacks! The apartment is in a residential area so it’s perfect for a family with older people or younger children as there is no noise late at night from bars/clubs. Yet, it is only a short walk from one of the main streets lined with plenty of bars/cafes that will lead you straight to piazza San Marco within 15-20 min. It’s an easy ride on the 5.1 vaporetto from Santa Lucia train station. Maurizio met us at the vaporetto station and walked us to the apartment (10 min) pointing out restaurants and grocery stores along the way. Riccardo was quick to respond to any questions. Check in/out was very fast and efficient. Would definitely recommend to friends and family looking to stay in Venice in the future!
