If you want to live like a local and see a city from the inside - stay here! It is close to everything, with less than a 20 minute walk to the Rialto and San Marco, and very convenient to the Train Station (10 minutes max.) But the great thing about this flat is the quaint, residential location and Sofia - who is an amazing host. We could not have had a better experience both in Venice and at the flat. And if there is ANYTHING you need, Sofia is there to assist. She helped us with a private water taxi our last night, when we had no idea how to book someone for an absurdly early flight and she took care of it for us. It was the most stress free way to begin our long journey home. We would give this listing 6 stars if we could!
