Jean-Pierre's apartment truly exceeded our expectations and the photos do not do it justice, as good as they are. We loved the location, just a ten minute walk to the Doge's palace but away from the crowds of San Marco with a lovely 'local' feel with some great restaurants and bars. Also, Co-op a minute away for those basics and a fishmonger, butcher etc. within seconds of the apartment for those that want to 'eat at home'. Oh, and the fruit and veg barge on the canal below the apartment.
We truly believe staying here allowed us to enjoy our Visit to Venice more than we might had we stayed in a hotel amongst the crush of San Marco.
A few tips; Do use the Vaporetto to get around. Saves your legs, great fun, easy to use and great value. Visit Murano on the Vaporetto. For great food, service and atmosphere try Nevodi's on Via Garibaldi a minute from the apartment.
