I stayed in Venice for 8 days for business purposes, but this apartment made my trip a great vacation and a home away from home. It was big enough to fit at least 5 people with full kitchen and washing machine. So, imagine what a convenient stay I by myself had. It is located few steps from Piazzale Roma- a fact that you become to appreciate traveling with luggage, because this is where transportation routes end and walking across dozens of bridges start. Getting lost in the streets of Venice is business as usual and tons of fun. So, following Piazzale Roma signs everywhere brought me back home safely and orderly no matter how late it was. Downstairs are few restaurants, bars and souvenirs shops. This is right on the way of visitors coming and going out of the city, so do not expect a quiet and peaceful corner, which I absolutely love. Tomas, the co-host was there to wait for despite my plane being late by 2 hrs, introduced me to the apartment, explained all sightseeing with a map. The place even had a mosquito repellent plug ins, which I felt very grateful the first night. :) If there's any place I'd stay in Venice, this is definitely in. You will get a full experience like a local...may be more.
