Rudi’s place is perfect for a trip to Venice. Rudi was always available to answer our questions before the trip. His colleague, Sara, met us to show us to the apartment. She was wonderful and gave us several great restaurant recommendations. Check out was easy too as we were able to just leave the keys in the apartment. Apartment is about a half mile from San Marco Piazza (St. Marks, Doge’s Palace). It is a minute from Santa Margherita Plaza, which had lots of restaurants and occasionally had a fish stand, fruit stand, and clothing market set up. It seemed like a local piazza too, where parents brought their children to play soccer while they sat and had a drink with their friends. Definitely stay here!!
