The apartment was Perfect. 2 bedrooms, large living area, seperate kitchen, it was everything we needed.
The real bonus with this apartment is the location. It is a 20 minute walk from Piazza San Marco and all the other shops and amenities in that central area, and also close to 2 water bus stops, 5 min and 10 min walk away, where you can get to the other islands and all of the major tourist attractions. The apartment is in a fantastic quiet neighbourhood, with no neighbors above or below, and when the cruise ships came in we hardly saw any tourists from them.
Despite being slightly off the beaten path, we had everthing we needed in the adjacent street, Via Garibaldi: great coffee shops, 3 fruit and veg vendors to choose from, heaps of little restaurants and bars (which were full every night of locals...) and 2 supermarkets, in spite of this the prices for the eveyday things like coffee and pastries was half of what we paid in the Piazza and on Murano when we day tripped there. And the bills from dinner and lunch were super reasonable, no mandatory table/service charges or sky high prices, but of course tipping is encouraged and they really do look after you in this neighbourhood!
The Host who met me, Paul, was great. He provided fantastic directions to the water bus stop where he met me, walked me to the apartment and even showed me around some of the neighbourhood amenities on foot. By the time he finised i felt very comfortable understanding where i was and how to get to most places from the apartment.
Truly a great find. We'll definately be back.
