The unit is on the ground floor which is great considering the amount of walking done in Venice! It has fantasic view of the canals from 3 windows! Kitchen was small but functional and nicely stocked. Gianna was a great host and quickly helped us to get a water taxi from the airport since we arrived late into Venice. Location is of equal distance from Rialto and St Marks Sq. Checkout time was at 10am but Gianna let us store the luggage till we leave for the airport. Overall we had a pleasant stay and will definitely return to this unit next time I'm in Venice.
