Alberto's apartment is the perfect base from which to explore Venice. It is extremely well situated, close to Rialto, but tucked away upstairs in a side street which is very quiet, but steps from excellent cafes, restaurants and the Grand Canal. It is exactly as shown and was light, very clean and spacious, fully equipped with quality fit-out, excellent kitchen and bathroom, linen, toiletries and coffee machine ( with starter pods), and everything easy to work and functioning well. Alberto ( and his mother) were there to welcome us and provided full explanation of the apartment and the neighbourhood, maps, restaurant recommendations and a bowl of fruit and lovely bottle of prosecco.
There's a little cafe opposite which has wonderful coffee and pastries and was the perfect breakfast stop. A coop supermarket five minutes down the street and fresh markets quite near the vaporetto (no1) stop made getting provisions a pleasure and a way of getting to know the neighbourhood.
Alberto's apartment was very easy to find. We came from the station on the vaporetto No2 , but found that the vaporetto No1 ( slightly slower trip due to more stops, but actually quite quick) stop on the San Polo side of the Rialto Bridge meant that we didn't need to carry our bags up the steps over the bridge when we were returning to the station for our departure.
Alberto's apartment is the perfect base for a couple and I'd thoroughly recommend it
