Communication with Myriam was first class from the moment we booked which is always very reassuring. We were met by Daria who showed us to the apartment, gave us some great information and made us feel very comfortable.
The location is ideal if you want to experience the best Venice has to offer. It's close to the train station and a number of Vaporetto stops yet just off the beaten track. The balcony is fabulous and we ate breakfast in the sun out there every morning whilst listening to the sounds of daily life in Venezia.
Rialto & San Marco were only 15 minutes walk away but we preferred the Santa Croce and Cannaregio areas which were 5 minutes walk and not touristy at all.
The apartment is decorated in a quirky way for sure but it just works really well and has a wonderful feel to it. The kitchen has everything you'll need, the bed is comfortable and the shower works just fine - better than many we've experienced. The neighbourhood is very safe, the local supermarket has a great selection and it's just 2 minutes away. OK there are 3 short flights of stairs but if you come to Venice expecting not to avoid steps forget it - we're fit & in our 50's so not an issue at all.
We spent 5 nights here in Myriam's apartment and thoroughly recommend it! We will be back for sure!
