Location, location, location. Steps from the Rialto stop which can easily be reached from the airport. Our host met us at the stop and walked us in to the apartment which was about 100 steps away. All the features of the apartment were explained as well as highlights of the area - especially enjoyed a visit to Fondaco Dei Tedeschi building near the Rialto which offers a great panoramic view of the Grand Canal. The apartment is spacious and can serve two couples well. It is sparkling clean and has all modern conveniences, updated kitchen, and even laundry facilities. It is steps to the Rialto bridge and a short walk to San Mark’s square. It is a safe and quiet area and there are many good restaurants near by. As well, there are several supermarkets close by. We enjoyed our stay in Venice and would highly recommend this apartment.
