The location of this apartment is fantastic. We met our host at the Rialto vaporeto stop and the apartment is just a five minute walk from it. Although its close to Rialto stop it is away from tourist crowds - very quiet and well appointed.

If you are used to a fully air conditioned living space, this place is not for you in summer. The bedroom is air conditioned, but the rest of the apartment is not. The restaurant kitchen is right next door on the first level and the smells that emanate during lunch and dinner are absolutely amazing. The Piazza Santa Marina has everything you could need - grocery store, upscale restaurant, and small bar for coffee, drinks or a quick lunch.

We had no problems with Internet. Everything worked perfectly and it was very clean. Keep this one in your favorites for Venice... its a good choice for Venice and a nice respite from the tourist-packed city in summer.
