This is a lovely apartment with lots of character, in a great central location (10 min walk from St Marks Square if you don't get lost). It was spacious for the 4 of us with comfortable bedrooms. The attic room involves climbing a narrow staircase and would not be suitable for very young children, but is a fun space for older kids.
You have to climb 4 flights of stairs to reach the apartment, which is good exercise especially with suitcases, but this means you have great views across the roof tops and good daylight.
The decoration and furnishings are attractive and comfortable, giving almost a bohemian feel. The kitchen is generally well equipped, although the kettle, toaster and coffee maker are all a little basic (small and old fashioned).
We made the mistake of taking the water bus from the airport and wished we had paid the extra for a water taxi - I think it would have been a more spectacular arrival to the city. But we made it up to ourselves with a gondola ride.
Venice is such a unique place and this apartment really fitted its character and made a perfect base for exploring the sites and culture.
