Cinzia's apartment was extremely comfortable and included everything we needed for a relaxed long weekend of walking and sightseeing in the beautiful city of Venice!
Upon arrival we were met at the Rialto Waterbus Stop, and were guided to the flat before being given a friendly tour of the rooms and the city map (in fantastic English), including some great restaurant recommendations (Al Vecio Canton - Pizza, Al Mascaron - Pasta, Osteria alla Stafa - Seafood were three of our evening highlights, plus Gelato Suso for dessert!)
The location was excellent - close to the centre of the city (5 minutes walk to Piazza San Marco and 7 minutes to the Rialto Bridge), situated on a scenic piazza with gondolas floating by beneath the windows and singing echoing through the windows (in fact there are two gondoliers situated either side of the front door!) At night the piazza is very quiet, and we rarely heard the upstairs B&B guests.
There are obviously several bridges to cross to get to the apartment, so we would advise people to pack light (but that is probably good advice for all trips to Venice!) There is also a Coop Supermarket 2 minutes away for food and drink essentials, plus a variety of small pizzerias, bars and bakeries.
The apartment does not have air-conditioning, but we found that for a mid-July trip, the large fan provided enough cool air at night, as long as it was pointed at the bed!
In summary, this was a great base for our 4 day trip to Venice, and we would definitely stay there again!
