Loved this little apartment!! The location was very convenient to both the Rialto bridge and St. Mark's., right off of a main walk-way. Also, it was down a small little alley, which cut down on the noise at night. The last time I stayed in Venice, we stayed in a popular hotel along the main walking path. I remember not being able to sleep at night because of the noise. This apartment was MUCH better! It's a 5-10 minute walk from the Rialto water taxi stop, up and down a few steps as you cross canals and then you have to walk up 3 flights of stairs to reach the apartment. We carried backpacks, so this was no problem. However, we passed many people trying to lug large suitcases through the crowded streets and they were struggling. Flavia, one of the staff, met us at the water taxi stop and showed us the way, provided us with a map and gave pointers for restaurants and other helpful tips. She even washed our laundry for us! She was fantastic!! The apartment was very clean and well supplied. The kitchen/living room area was a bit small, but the bedrooms and bathroom were very spacious. Highly recommend this place!!
