The apartment was beautiful and had everything we needed for our stay. The neighborhood was great- lively, vibrant, parks full of public art nearby and cafes everywhere. A 10-15 minute walk to Piazza San Marcos and a 5 minute walk to the Grand Canal. A beautiful balcony overlooking the street was a lovely place to people watch and drink the thoughtful complimentary bottle of wine. Couldn't ask for more for our Venice stay. We were two families, a family of four with two kids ages 11 and 14, and our friends, who are a family of 3. Highly recommend!
