This place is in an incredible location in Venice. It is an easy walk from the train station (which is important if you have luggage that you are hauling with you) and near a lot of shopping, grocery stores, delicious restaurants and plenty of gelato shops. We walked all over Venice and it did not take too long to reach any of the tourist destinations in Venice from this apartment. Simone’s brother, Leopoldo, met us at the door when we arrived, helped us with our luggage and showed us the apartment. The place has a lot of space with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a kitchen and a living room. Everything is beautifully equipped and works well. The apartment was perfect for my family of 5 - my husband, myself, our 18 year old son, 14 year old daughter and 9 year old daughter. The washer/dryer combo took a little bit for us to figure out, but it was nice to be able to wash our clothes halfway through our 2 week Italy trip. Simone and Leopoldo left us a delicious bottle of wine and bottles of water in the fridge. They also left us tea and coffee. If we are ever lucky enough to return to Venice we would definitely stay here again.
