This is a wonderful base from which to explore Venice. The location is just a few steps from a public square. On that square is a well stocked grocery store which has all you need to do an occasional breakfast or snack. There are also restaurants and shops.
The apartment has been completely updated with modern appliances and furnishings. The hot water heating system includes a bathroom heater and towel warmer. (The floor sometimes can be a little cooler so you may want to have some cozy socks.)
The apartment includes a small backyard for outdoor dining. We found that December does not lend itself to outdoor dining but in nice weather this would be a valuable feature.
Matteo was great to deal with. He promptly and accurately answered any questions we might have had. He met us at the point where the water taxi stops near the apartment and walked with us a short distance to where the apartment is located. Venice can be challenging to navigate through the twists and turns of the walkways and passages so having Matteo to guide us was invaluable.
