Marco's flat is spotlessly clean - and I'm extremely fussy! A comfy bed, nice linen, fluffy towels, white crockery and sparkling utensils, ticked all the boxes. The stairs up to the flat are very steep but they are well lit. The location was great allowing us to experience the quieter side of Venice away from the tourist trap. Great local restaurants are nearby. There is a lovely little square where you can get a coffee and people watch. Vecia Cavana restaurant was our favourite - a couple of minutes walk from the flat - it's worth booking a table as its very popular, we sat outside for our evening meal and in October it was a bit chilly.
Getting around Venice from the flat is easy. We walked its bridges, alleyways and Piazzas for miles and miles. The AVTO is also nearby which will transport you up and down the fantastic Grand Canal.
Marco was a great host - even though we didn't meet him he was very quick to answer our questions and provided us with easy to follow photographic directions to the location of the flat. Within minutes of getting off the Water Taxi, we had found the flat easily. He even got in touch to find out if we had arrived safely and that everything was to our satisfaction.
If you are departing Venice via Water Bus back to the airport allow yourselves plenty of time, the boats often arrive at FONDAMENTE NOVE already full. If you can afford it the water taxi might be a better option - it's certainly something we'd consider next time!
A great little flat in the heart of this wonderful city. Thank you, Marco, for sharing your lovely flat.
