Maria was so kind & gave us perfect directions to the apartment. The WatersDoor was in a perfect location to walk to the major sights like San Marco Square & The Rialto bridge. The apartment is in a local neighborhood. We loved walking to the cafe at the end of the street for an espresso & stopping at the local bakery for Italian sweets. We found quaint restaurants & a gondolier station nearby, where we took a beautiful ride from the smaller side canal to the Rialto Bridge and back. We will definitely return & spend more days in Venice.
