Firstly: Can’t say enough about Raffaella (and her husband Piero). Our flights to Venice were delayed and they went out of their way to make sure we got into the apartment OK. Later on during our stay Piero showed us his favourite eating haunts and it was great to have local knowledge.
We spent an enjoyable three nights in the apartment. It is right in the centre of the action being 50m from Rialto Market (where you can buy all your food supplies from). The location is very convenient for sightseeing, and just a few minutes’ walk to the Rialto Mercato Vaporatto stop…keep on walking to Railto Bridge and onwards to St Marco square. So very convenient.
The pictures of the apartment are accurate, but don't do the place justice… it's even better in person with the rich menagerie of the Grand Canal life passing by the front windows. Absolutely no hesitation in recommending.
