The place is big. It's nice to be able to sprawl out in a nice big place compared to most in in Europe. It was so close to the vaporetto stop that we did not have to haul our luggage far. That was a big bonus. St Mark's square is a 5-10 min walk from the place. All the highlights of Venice are easily accessible from the apartment. It is located on one of the small waterways and we had the pleasure of witnessing the charm of the gondoliers pass by the apartment serenading their passengers as they passed under our window. It was so charming! Don't worry the boats are not able to row all night so you do get peace and quiet when it is bed time.
The apartment was clean, charming and big! There is air conditioning, we did not have to use yet, but was thankful it was there as I can imagine Venice is a bit humid in the heat.
All in all, it was a great time, great city, and great centrally located apartment.
