The apartment was perfectly situated, far enough from the very touristy areas but closed enough to walk easily to St. Marco square. Sandro welcomed us with a friendly greeting even though we were later arriving than anticipated due to losing one bag on our flight in. The views from the terrace were breathtaking and where we started and ended our days. The neighbourhood grocery stores and restaurants were conveniently located and It was just a short walk (even with 3 suit cases) from the Arsenale boat stop and very easy to find. We will all certainly recommend the apartment to friends and family who are planning to go to Venice and it will be our return trip destination.
