even though you're one block from busy busy San Marco square, this apartment has it's own semi-private courtyard entrance that shields you from traffic and noise. It is perfect for a family of 4 (2 adults + 2 kids) because the 2nd bedroom has two twin bed. the furnishings were very much like a 4 star hotel. there is a cafe right outside the courtyard that is convenient for quick meals and excellent coffee, and the host has some good suggestions for dinner at check in. it's a bit of a walk from St. Lucia train station, so take the water bus or private taxi if you have a lot of luggage, we would stay here again if we come back to Venice
