We were met at the vaporetto (water bus) stop by our host, who took us to the apartment. It was a short walk to the studio but it was our first time in Venice so I was very grateful to have someone help us navigate the tiny cobblestone streets of the neighborhood. The wood paneled apartment was small but felt spacious, super clean, and with good storage space. It had an old world romantic feel with all the comfort of modern amenities. It had everything we needed! Exactly as described, and even better. I liked that the neighborhood was easy to get to from the main railway station, and a nice walk from San Marco and the major shopping areas. I also liked that our neighborhood did not have the international chain stores and instead, populated by lots of local businesses. The Realto market is near by, as well as many amazing eateries. Our host also pointed out the grocery store on the corner, which was very convenient for getting groceries. Highest recommendation for foodies and people who want to experience a bit of old world Venice!
