We were welcomed at the vaporetto stop by Marco's very pleasant assistant, who showed us to the apartment and explained how to get to the nearest supermarket (there is a map in the welcome pack). The apartment is literally about 5 minutes walk from St Mark's Square and there are lots of vaporetto stops nearby, as well as some local shops and cafes. The pathways are well lit, and we felt very safe walking around at night. Being on the 3rd floor gives the apartment a wonderful view over the Greek church and museum, and Ponte dei Greci. The apartment is well appointed with cooking facilities, so you have the choice of whether to cook for yourself or eat out. The bathroom access is a little quirky, but we got used to it very quickly. We did find the 3 flights of stairs a little challenging, especially with the suitcases, but the view was worth the exercise, and we would definitely stay here again.
