The apartment is well located near the Rialto Bridge on the first floor. Antonio met us when we arrived and explained the details of the apartment and provided us with two sets of keys. He was very gracious and also gave us a marked up map with the location of the nearest supermarket and some restaurant, cafe and bar recommendations....and a bottle of chilled Prosecco. The apartment is well maintained and is equipped with gas hot water, gas hot plate, two bathrooms and the general necessities that you require. The apartment is secure with a key/buzzed-in street entry to the wide stairway. Narrow stairways, in Venice, are common and can make carrying up cases difficult but this was surprisingly wide. The location is great for three nearby vaporetto stops (Rialto, Rialto Mercato and San Silvestro) , the Alilaguna and the Rialto Mercato. We enjoyed our stay.
