What a great place to stay in Venice. The apartment itself is great. Very big space with lovely natural light from many large windows on both the east and west side of the apartments. Ground floor entry (and that is where the washing machine is) is very secure. We did a self check in and it worked out fine.
The place has all the equipment you need to home cook.
As for the neighbourhood: Areas of Venice are extremely crowded. Castello sestiera is not one them. It's a beautiful area. We spent most of our first day wandering the streets, alleys and gardens found right in the neighbourhood along with a great lunch and yummy gelato. The tourist crowds don't get down to Castello and into this true Venetian "locals" neighbourhood which is great if you are staying here. The central area - San Marco, Really are just a few vaperretto stations away - 20 minutes or less.
We loved this place. The neighbourhood is really charming. Great restaurants can be found less than 50 metres away along with a well stocked grocery store and a number of interesting and delicious venues.
The host for the apartment was easy to contact and helpful.
The water pressure does fluctuate a bit but worked out fine: added to the charm of the place.
Great spot and good value for money considering the prices of hotels etc in Venice.
I know we will stay here again when we return to this incredible city. It's a great place to relax.
