We have just returned from a wonderful week at Antonio's apartment 2. We took the ACTV bus from Marco Polo (25 mins) to Piazzale Roma, then a very short vaporetto ride from to the apartment. His niece, Ida was very sweet and helpful, making us welcome and we had everything needed for breakfast. The apartment is exactly as shown and very peaceful and quiet, except for the occasional church bells adding atmosphere. We slept well on the enormously wide bed and enjoyed cooking fish and meat bought in the Rialto market. The Billa supermarket is less than 10 minutes away. We bought a saver vaporetto ticket for 7 days and were glad of it as it is so easy to travel everywhere from the front door. There are a lot of steps but it is fine if you take them slowly and it is worth it for the spaciousness and peace up there. I was surprised to find everything provided, from towels to iron, hairdryer, toaster and things like salt, oil and herbs in the kitchen. 100 yards from the back door are cafes, markets and shops and also an internet booth place costing only 1.50 euros for a session (I didn't take my laptop as we just took hand luggage with us but there is free wifi in the flat). I recommend the Fondamenda della Misericordia (5 mins walk north of the palazzo) for lunch, dinner or drinks by a pretty canal in one of the many osterias. Do take some anti midge stuff with you - I was bitten to pieces and they are very itchy. We have stayed in Venice before in a very good hotel, but I have to say I preferred living like a local and the freedom of making tea and snacks when you like. Conceptual Devices Apartment is great value and in a wonderful location with friendly, helpful hosts. Thank you Antonio and Ida!
