This apartment was ideal in that it met all of our expectations. It was clean, comfortable, spacious and had all the amenities we needed. It is ideally located near a water bus stop at the Accademia Bridge which allowed for easy travel near and far. There are great restaurants nearby - specifically one directly across the canal called Taverna San Travaso - excellent food! There is great shopping away from the crushing crowds around San Marco and Rialto, and numerous art museums (Guggenheim Museum is minutes away). A five minute walk gets you to the Giudecca Canal with more dining options and places for enjoying a spritz or wine while watching all manner of Venice in motion. Andrea was quick to respond to our questions while in the planning process earlier this year and very helpful during our stay. Elyssa who substituted for Andrea the day we checked in was very helpful as well. She provided us with many options for her go-to restaurants. A great plus for this fourth floor apartment is the elevator. It was a godsend for our months’ worth of luggage. In short: Andrea is a great host, wonderful apartment and an ideal location!!
