I can't say enough great things about Robert's apartment! The location is so convenient, just tucked around the corner from St. Mark's Square, and close to the water vaporettos/taxis. We loved getting up early and exploring before all of the crowds filled the square. The apartment itself is just lovely - very spacious, clean, and well appointed. The pictures don't do it justice! The kitchen was stocked with everything you could ask for, and the view from the balcony off the living room is to die for. We sat and watched the gondolas and water buses go by each day, it was just magical. Upon arrival, Laura, one of his apartment managers, met us right at the San Marco vaporetto stop and walked us to the apartment, offering us suggestions and tips along the way. Communication with her before, during and after our stay was just amazing. Thanks to Laura, we learned that the Biennale Art Exhibit has just started in Castello, and so we made our way over to that one day. Upon leaving, we booked a water taxi to pick us up right out back - which couldn't been more convenient! If this apartment is free for your travel dates - look no further and book it now! We'll be back!
