The water taxi dock is two doors from the place… talk about easy! The vaporetto is also close by, more like a few minutes walk rather than under 1.
It’s incredible to walk around in a place as old as Venice and then to come back to an apartment that has modern touches.
The place is also well stocked! The hosts are generous with all the usual things you may need. The supermarket is an 8 min walk and we bought some things that we didn’t realize were in the TV stand (given the shared kitchen/living/dining setup). So do look around before you head out shopping. Also, we saw construction of a new supermarket within a 4 min walk.
One bedroom is setup like a master suite and has a washer and dryer. Didn’t think we’d need it but it came in handy after walking in the sweltering summer heat! A second bedroom is fairly large, queen bed (I think) and enough space for a couple of comfy lounge chairs. The third bedroom is a queen bed and some closet space. All really great.
Speaking about heat, the AC works perfectly and keeps the apartment incredibly cool!
Another great thing is that this apartment is fairly isolated - think quiet side street. You won’t hear the hustle and bustle by the grand canal in the evening because you’ll be on the canal but on a dead end.
St. Marks Sq is a 10 min walk, Rialto bridge is about the same. You can get to the other side using the 2 euro gondola… it’s listed in the info book the hosts provide… do find the spot, wish we had tried it sooner.
We did have one issue during our stay and Lisa was immediately available and communicated throughout. She also checked in to make sure everything was good.
If we were to visit Venice again we’d definitely look to stay here. It was fantastic!
