We highly recommend renting this apartment. My husband and I and our 2 daughters, ages 10 and 13, loved the location between St Mark's and Rialto, a pleasant 10 minute walk to each. The apartment is right around the corner from shops and restaurants but it was surprisingly quiet. The apartment has been beautifully renovated and the air conditioning and appliances worked perfectly. The elevator was an extra bonus. Maurizio and Francesca were wonderful hosts who were happy to assist with any questions. We've rented other apartments in Venice and this is by far our favorite. We plan to try to rent it again when we return to Venice. Book this if you can!
