My wife and I did not realize how close this is to the Rialto bridge and the vaporetto stations. This unit is super close to the action, yet it is quiet and peaceful. The kitchen is small - it would be a challenge to make dinner - but it has 2-burner induction stove and a microwave so it may be possible. The bed is comfortable and large, the bathroom good. The rooftop deck is really peaceful, great for Aperol Spritz. Next door, down a secret alley by the Grand Canal, is a really neat restaurant - Taverna de Remer. It isn't on Trip Advisor, it isn't in the Michelin Guide - but boy was the food good (carpaccio with rocket and shaved black truffles! Potato gnocchi with scampi and aubergine sauce!) and the drinks reasonably priced. Silvia's briefing book plus being met at Rialto vaporetto station and being walked to the unit really made us feel at ease in a busy, complicated city. Highly recommended. Just be ready for lots of stairs.
