We loved staying in Caroline e Marco's apartment in Venice. It was a great location- away from the massive crowds, but so close to walk to restaurants, gondolas, museums, churches (although you are always close to a church in venice); a vaporetto stop. At night, we walked to Piazza San Marco in 10 minutes, or Rialto bridge- we always felt safe.
The apartment itself had all the comforts- induction stove, ove, fridge and freezer- even a wine fridge. The table easily accomodated 6 of us, and the bedrooms were comfortable, clean, and contemporary. The elevator was important for the 85-year-old with us, and the tvs were enjoyed by the 4-and 6-year olds. We loved it!
