We loved our stay at the Frari apartment!! If you are planning a long or short stay in Venice this is an excellent choice. The apartment is newly renovated and everything inside is brand new and well stocked. New kitchen appliances, dishes etc, new washer and dryer and all fixtures are new in the redone bath as well. Plenty of towels, extra blankets and lots and lots of storage. There is the main bedroom with a large bed good for 2 and a separate bedroom with a twin bed. The main bedroom and living room overlook an alley that leads to a small square with a cafe. The square fills with children and can be a bit noisy in the afternoons with the windows open. If you like, just close the windows as they block out all sound. The apartment has air conditioning which I am sure is a big plus in the summer!! Since we were here in October we just left the windows open but you will need to close them at night as the mosquitos are fierce. The wifi was not working while there so if that is important to you please confirm with them before booking as we were not told and it made things a bit more difficult with communications.
You will be just a short 1-2 minute walk to the Frari Church which is good since you should always have a main point of reference that all the locals know and can point you towards when you get "disoriented". We flew into Venice and took the bus to Piazzale Roma and hopped on the Vaporetto to St Toma. (Get your bus/vaporetto ticket outside of baggage claim before leaving the airport.) From St. Toma vaporetto stop it is about an 8-10 minute walk to the apartment. This was the only aspect that could have been a bit better. Orsola was to meet us at the apartment after sending us directions on google maps but we found it difficult to use. We ended up dragging our bags for longer than necessary and required a few texts and a phone call to her to find our way. Maybe in the future she will meet guests at the vaporetto stop to help guide you to the apartment. She gave us a nice introduction to the apartment and made sure we were squared away before leaving.
We had a lovely stay. Everything was just wonderful and we would highly recommend!
