The apartment is located in a central area, very close to Piazza San Marco, the Rialto Bridge, and Campo Santa Maria Formosa. Two of the bedrooms, the sitting room, and the kitchen overlook a canal, with gondolas. There’s a tiny balcony, but as it was December, it was too cold to be sitting outside with our breakfast! It was quite quiet, except when boats came along early in the morning to empty the neighbours’ septic tanks, and when the upstairs neighbours were having a party. The apartment was very beautiful and comfortable, with plenty of room for six. Because it is owned by the the nearby Hotel da Bruno, there are very kind reception staff on hand to answer questions and solve any problems. We appreciated being able to store our luggage at the hotel after checking out of the apartment on our final day. Paolo also recommended restaurants, and made a reservation for us.
