Honestly the best option for a stay in Venice. You’re so close to the boat stop so you don’t have to lug your cases around the city to get to/from the apartment. On arrival, Francesca met us at the boat stop and took us to the apartment, she made sure we were confident using the keys getting in and out of the building and she took her time to explain all the best places around the city. We were told the best place to get a gondola tour (near the Rialto bridge) and it really was amazing. We had a tour of the private canals rather than all on the grand canal and although it’s quite pricey, it’s so so worth it!! You can’t go to Venice and not do a gondola tour (in my opinion). Francesca introduced us to Rossopomodoro - a restaurant just off of San Marco square - and we devoured our meals every time... they were soooooo good (highly recommend trying the Montara!). When in the apartment you’ll be able to see the gondolas passing your window and no doubt you’ll hear a couple with serenades. It’s nothing like you’d ever imagine... it’s better!! Highly recommend this apartment for the location, hosts and price. It’s worth every penny and made our stay perfect.
