This is an excellent place for a first-time visitor to stay. Location is directly behind the Teatro La Fenice and less than a 10 minute walk to either Piazza San Marco or Rialto Bridge. You're literally in the middle of all the main attractions. We were greeted at the boat landing and escorted to the apartment. Without this help a first-time visitor would almost certainly get lost. There is an elevator in the building but still one flight of stairs to climb. We were given a tour of the apartment and reviewed the visitor guide the host provides. The apartment is modern and gorgeous, just like the pictures show. Bed is very comfortable. Having two bathrooms is nice, watch your head on the low beams. Water pressure a bit low but hot water never ran out. Canal view from living room windows. Small roof terrace is a big bonus. Panoramic view over the red-tiled roofs and you can see all the towers of the city. It's amazing how quiet it is up there at night. The small streets are jammed with tourists in this neighborhood, which gets a bit tiresome, but again location is perfect for a first-time visitor. Restaurants in the immediate area are a bit touristy but at least you don't need to go far if you're hungry. Supermarket is less than 5 minute walk, once you're able to figure out where it's hiding. Would recommend this place.
