If you are looking for a comfortable base in a quiet part of this bustling city then this apartment is for you. Decorated in a typically Italian but specifically Venetian style it is of simple construction consisting of a bed/ sitting area of which the window looks directly onto the Grand canal allowing you to people watch throughout the day and night the flat has a separate kitchen and bathroom, Both of which kitchen are well appointed with the kitchen complete with pots, pans, cutlery and crockery. The apartment is situated in the upper region of the Grand canal close to the water bus station of San Marcuola allowing access to the whole length of the canal as a means of traversing the city to get to wherever you want to go. On this point buy the three day ticket which allows you multiple journeys through your stay. Close to the flat there are two good supermarkets, from the Maddellena church go left and you will find the Spar supermarket ( about five hundred yards along the road). Go left over the bridge and after another five hundred yards you will find a CO-OP supermarket, both have a good variety of foodstuffs if you are self catering. If you are do not miss the fruit and vegetables market at the Rialto Monday to Friday. If you enjoy fresh fish then DO NOT miss the fish market in the Rialto, it is superb, it opens around seven in the morning but closes between 12:30 and 1pm. As you might guess we loved our week in the apartment and loved Venice, this will not be our last stay here.
