Location, location, location! The elegance of the apartment is undeniable and, just like beautiful Venice herself, is a little bit faded in places ... however, I don’t think enough has been said about how brilliantly it is located. You are slightly away from the main Rialto /San Marco hot spots (phew) - but a stone’s throw from the train station, a vaporetto stop at the top of Grand Canal, and a short walk from Piazzale Roma. You can get around so easily from here, and yet have escaped the worst of the crowds. Also, literally on your doorstep, is a little supermarket and a wonderful coffee shop - so you can choose to walk for miles if you wish, but can settle yourself very comfortably at home without having to venture anywhere at all and watch the world go by below you. We felt very lucky to have spent a few days here pretending to be Venetian, and cannot recommend it enough.
