This flat was the largest we stayed in during our trip to Italy, with ample room for our family with two young children. It literally is steps from the Rialto, you can see it by sticking your head out the front window! So that does mean it can be noisy, as the shutters do not close tightly, but it comes with earplugs (good-quality ones too that work like a charm). We really appreciated Francesco's meeting us for an early check-in, and definitely read the detailed PDF he sends ahead of time about Venice's neighborhoods and places to eat and drink (there's also a paper copy in the apartment). We went to one restaurant he suggested we go to (called 6342, a short walk away) not once but twice! The flat has beautiful woodwork in the floors, a separate kitchen (with an American coffee maker in case you want more than espresso!), and long hallways for even more spaciousness. The main room is dominated by the dining room table that is useful but the room could use another (or bigger) couch or armchairs. We did not use the washer that is located in the kitchen. You could not ask for a better location, especially as when you get lost you can always follow the yellow signs "Per Rialto." There's a bar opposite the building entrance that we kept wanting to try but never made it to, and there are two supermarkets also very close by that are surprisingly well stocked. We highly recommend this apartment!
