Perfectly located in Canarregio, the apartment is part of a collective of about 6 single-story terrace houses in a gated compound. Security is excellent, and the area of Canarregio it occupies is quiet but only minutes' walk from all manner of food and drink and my oh my is there plenty to eat and drink in this neighbourhood! It's not next door to San Marco or the Rialto, but if you really wanted to stay in those areas you wouldn't be checking this listing out would you?
The apartment is a simple but modern one-bedroom with a large dining, living and kitchen occupying one space. The highlight is the skylights (yes, more than one) letting in the amazing Venetian sunshine so the house was always bright and cheery in the day. There are also large windows which let in the air but if you keep them closed, it tends to be a tad stuffy.
Marco's assistant Giorgia came to get us from Guglie, the closest water taxi station. Frankly though, if you do your research right and don't mind using some muscle, this place is (moderately) walkable from St Lucia station.
