Maurizio's apartment in Rialto Mercato was absolutely perfect for our short stay in Venice to ring in the new year. The accommodations were recently remodeled, modern, in excellent condition, and very comfortable. It was very easy to get to from the train station via the water bus that you see as soon as you walk out the station. We were pleasantly greeted at our stop and escorted to the apartment eliminating any concerns of getting lost and made us feel very welcomed.
It was perfectly situated in a part of the city that was close to the action yet separated from all of the madness enabling us to relax when we wanted to. With just a few short blocks from shops, cafe's, restuarants, and the Rialto Bridge it made it very easy to do whatever we wanted. The market that's right outside the door let us get all of the fresh fruit and vegetables we wanted for our stay.
If we go to Venice again we'll definitely look to stay here again.
