This third floor apartment is charming! Hearing the church bells in the morning and peering out the widows to the small street below were part of the Venetian experience. The family (owners) were great and very helpful. Their son met us for check in and gave us great tips. The pictures of the apartment are accurate (including the shower in the sitting room). The location was great: it's a short walk (10 minutes) from the train station, two blocks from the Grand Canal (and a convenient Vaporetto stop), and a couple of blocks from a main thoroughfare with shops, restaurants, and of course gelato. It would take about 25-30 minutes to walk to St. Mark's square, but there's so much to look at everywhere, it didn't feel far. I would recommend this apartment to someone looking to stay slightly out of the tourist hustle/bustle but still conveniently located.
