If you are looking for an excellent location in Venice for a group of travelers, this apartment is for you! It's located on a quiet alley off of a main walk that is very close (5-10 minute stroll) to Piazza San Marco and other points of interest.
We were two families (4 adults, 2 small children) traveling together and the accommodations worked out well.
Communication with Giorgio was excellent. We were traveling via train from Milano, and from the Venezia Santa Lucia train station, he suggested the waterbus (15 minute ride) and greeted us at the Rialto stop. From there he walked us directly to our apartment (2-3 minute walk). The apartment entry is on a side quiet alley off of a busier walk, which was nice. It’s a one-flight walk-up to the unit.
The apartment itself was very clean, spacious and feels completely remodeled with modern fixtures and furnishings. You enter into the kitchen area which was large and very well equipped (including utensils, glassware, plates, cleaning items, coffee maker, toaster, etc.). The kitchen leads to a large living/dining room area with a table for 6 and a big sofa as shown in the photos.
Down the hallway is the 1st narrow bedroom with two single beds. Facing this smaller bedroom is a small bathroom complete with shower. At the end of the hall is the master bedroom with queen bed and a small balcony, with a private attached full bathroom. The 2 bedrooms plus the comfortable sofa bed in the main living room worked well for our group. (Every so often we would hear a gondolier singing and we would rush to the master bedroom’s balcony to peek out at the passing gondola at the quiet canal below.)
The location felt central to the many points of interest. There were 2 grocery/markets very near the Rialto waterbus stop which was super convenient for us to stock up on supplies (wine, coffee, snacks, deli meats, cheeses and more wine) so that we could enjoy relaxing in our very comfortable living room and dining space. One night after a full day of sightseeing, we picked up dinner nearby and ate in to relax.
Due to our travel plans, we asked Giorgio for a little flexibility on the check out time and he was able to accommodate us - very much appreciated!
Overall, highly recommend this apartment. Note that one bedroom is larger than the other, so if that works for you as it did for us, you will love this place! Hope this review helps. Grazie!
