This loft was a one-of-a-kind experience! It is the top floor of a four story building. The bottom floors are not renovated, and are quite dark. Then you enter into the renovated section and everything is brand new and bright. The loft itself is beautiful. The windows all open and the fresh air is wonderful. While there isn't a balcony, you have the same feel of a balcony by opening the windows in front of the wrought iron railing. As you see in the photos the wood beams are wonderful. A small third bedroom with a twin bed is connected to the master bedroom. The jacuzzi tub in the master bath was a luxury! Around the corner from the loft is Campo Santo Stefano, a big square with cafes, a little tourist shop (with umbrellas, which we needed!) and a small but well stocked market. Major attractions are a short walk. The vaporetto stop is a 5 minute walk (and you'll need to tote your luggage). We would highly recommend this place as long as you have no mobility issues. The hosts were not available, but their friend met us at the vaporetto stop when we arrived and walked us to the apartment - which was much appreciated! We also had her contact information for questions and she responded instantly.
