This was my 3rd time in Venice and by far my best. I'm sure that was made possible by the superb location of this apartment. We only had need to use the expensive vaparetto just the one time on our way in with lots of luggage. The apartment was extremely comfortable, perfect for me and 3 teenage sons as I got to have my own queen size bed room and small bathroom to myself! The boys loved the loft 'hide-away'. Everything we could possibly want was in the apartment or close by there was a supermarket and cafés. The apartment is located bang in between the Piazza di San Marco and Rialto Bridge so you are right in the middle of the magic.
The cherry on the top top tho, is Alic :) Her friendliness, professionalism, local knowledge and willingness to help enriched our visit very, very much. She recommended fantastic shops, museums, bookshop and the best gelataria !! Amazingly she printed off a last minute e-ticket I bought so we could avoid the huge queue (1hr+) at the Basilica. She also organised our taxi that took us from the apartment to the airport at sunrise. Having the Grand Canal to ourselves at 5am was a very special moment, then our fast journey across the lagoon seeing Venice fade finished off perfectly what had been an amazing 3 week tour of Italy.
I thank Alic for helping to make our time in Venice very magical and stress free :)
