Location is exactly as described - countable steps from St. Mark's Square, and convenient to absolutely everything! The apartment is down a very narrow side street, so convenient to tourist areas but not *in* them - which is a wonderful way to experience Venice - to walk to and from your "home away from home" down narrow and winding Venetian streets - magical! The location could not have been better - connected to every part of the city through a short walk and/or the vaporetto system. The apartment itself was perfect for us - two people (one couple): a nice roomy entry area with a table, sofa, and the kitchen area, plus a separate area with a nice roomy bed and storage areas. The bathroom is very small and typical of old Europe - one tiny room with everything in it - so if you are looking for a roomy bathroom, this is not your place - but it does what it needs to do and the facilities were newly refurbished! The kitchen is a small refrigerator, small gas stove and a sink - this was perfect for us, and there was a market a short distance away (10 minute walk?) and many local restaurants. The entry door is large, heavy and sticks, so expect to use some force to get in. There is a step up into the apartment and a small step into the bathroom, but otherwise, no steps here - very convenient! Overall, highly recommend this lovely and convenient location in the heart of this beautiful and magical city!
