From the moment that Domenico picked us up at Rialto to take back to the apartment, everything was wonderful. The location is fantastic at the juncture of two canals - you can hear (and see) many gondoliers. Just be aware that the canals are Venice’s busy streets and there is ‘commercial’ traffic in the early morning as businesses along the canals get their deliveries. It is all very interesting to watch. The washer and dryer was helpful to get our clothes clean and the sleeping quarters were comfortable. St, Mark’s square was literally 2 minutes away in a straight shot. Also nearby (just over a bridge to the west) was a restaurant we went to THREE times (Ristorante Da Cherubini, Calle Barcaroli, 1702). Domenico’s place was a nice place to rest between all our adventures. Should I return to Venice, I would not hesitate to stay there again.
