This was a stylish, clean, convenient and very spacious base for our recent stay in Venice. Everything was as photographed and described -- including the amazing location just steps from St. Mark's Square. I loved being able to slip out of the apartment in the early morning and stroll through one of Europe's busiest squares when it was practically empty, before returning to the apartment to get ready for the day. The central location is just a few minutes walk from the waterbus and it was easy to find our way back from anywhere in Venice just by following the signs to St. Mark's. The instructions from Marika regarding directions, etc., were easy, prompt and clear.
