First about the apartment - it’s quite large, especially compared to others we stayed in in Italy. Full kitchen, good sized bathroom, large bed and bedroom. The location is great, you can easily walk anywhere on the island. The property is about a 10 minute walk from the train stain, which isn’t too bad, a few bridges with some stairs but other than that flat. It’s off the beaten path a bit, which we liked, and close to a lot of small restaurants and cafes that aren’t the in your face touristy types. The walk to S. Marco Square is a bit longer, maybe 30 minutes, but a very enjoyable walk. Lots of shops, markets and of course water views along the way. As for the host, Diana - outstanding. Diana responds super fast and was there to meet us in person when we arrived, explaining tips and ticks to help us make the most out of our time in Venice. We would highly recommend this listing for both reasons. Looking forward to another visit!
