This is a stylish and comfortable apartment close to St. Mark’s square in Venice. As other reviewers commented, you can enjoy seeing the gondolas go by the building from the windows (the apartment is one level above ground/water level so it’s not like you are on display for gondola riders). There is a pleasant piazza right outside the door of the building and a vaporetto stop nearby. Achillina and her friend Paola were very responsive and accommodating and kind. We were very comfortable and enjoyed this place and recommend it to other travelers:)
