The apartment is cosy and charming with personal touches inside, filled with interesting books and displays. There are 3 bridges to cross to get there if you arrive by vaporetto with your luggage and it is also on the first floor. The kitchen is small but it has the basic necessities. It overlooks a small courtyard on one side and on the other side it opens out to a canal leading to the Grand Canal. It is an easy walk to the Rialto area including the markets and Rialto Bridge. Giancarlo met us at the vaporetto stop and checked us in along with some tips for dining which was helpful. Thanks Giancarlo! We had some wifi issues but Giancarlo came over to sort it out for us. Giancarlo is quick to respond to questions. Truly recommended if you would like to stay in a Venetian apartment.
