Ida's apartment was wonderful! She was so helpful and kind and took the time to explain so many things to us in advance and in person which we really appreciated. The location is very central, convenient and easy to find. The apartment was clean, spacious and well appointed and had everything we needed. The wifi worked great and there was a big grocery store practically across the street along with plenty of restaurants and cafes within a few minutes. (We highly recommend Rosa Rossa for dinner - it is a 2 minute walk from the apartment. It was fully booked our first night so we made a reservation for the following evening and had a great meal.)

I just want to highlight what a superb and central location this is for exploring Venice: you are just ten minutes from San Marco and then to get to the other side of the Grand Canal, you can go north to the Rialto bridge or south to the Accademia, both just a few minutes walk. Use the sestiere of San Marco as a homebase to explore all the other fantastic areas of Venice, away from the crowds!

In the end, stay at Ida's and you will have a great experience!
