I had a wonderful month-long stay at Enrico’s. The very best part, was watching the gondolas glide by outside the window while I worked remotely on my laptop. The area is just a little bit outside the main tourist area and walkable to everything. The nearest water bus station is only a five minute walk away and the Rialto Bridge and Rialto Market are only about 8 minutes away. I was there during Carnevale, which was especially wonderful, with all of the costumes and masks and special events. As a solo older woman traveler, I felt very safe. Do be aware that for long-term stays, there is an additional cleaning fee for a weekly cleaning. However, it was wonderful to come home once a week and have the place clean and fresh. I would definitely recommend staying at Enrico’s lovely apartment.
