This apartment was just a few steps from the Grand Canal and the Rialto Mercato vaporetto stop. There were gelaterias and bars and restaurants all around. You really are in the middle of things. We bought fresh fruit every morning from the farmers market. The unit is as described and worked well for our party of 5 adults. Andrea met us at the Vaporetto stop as arranged and we were in the unit two minutes later. This was a great place to use as a base while we explored Venice.
