we chose this apartment for its location primarily - we knew it wasn't touristy and we hoped it would be convenient to the parking station at tronchetto with our baby and pram and luggage. we weren't sure whether the old world charm from the photos would translate but it absolutely did. it was like staying in a (very clean and functional) time capsule from the 60s. we loved it and felt it was the perfect base for our holiday.

the only negative of the experience was some out of date advice from the host that turned what could have been a 20minute departure into a hot two hours too-ing and fro-ing to the parking station with luggage and baby and dealing with a non negotiable boom gate controller who denied us access to sebastiano's "secret" car access location. just use the people mover and vaporetti to San Marta
