Great Venice apartment with a wonderful hostess! My husband and I stayed three nights in Sandra's apartment and had an absolutely wonderful time. The apartment for us was mostly somewhere to sleep and shower and for these functions it worked well. Sandra's place had pots and pans and, even though we did not use the kitchen, I am confident we could have cooked a meal easily.
Sandra was exceptionally helpful explaining how to get from the airport to Venice. She met us at the Rialto Bridge and brought us to the apartment. She had a map for us and took the time to mark many locations for us to explore. We had no shortage of places to eat, go for a Spirtz and get a coffee. All the recommendations we tried were excellent. She thoroughly explained the apartment and requirements and made us feel very comfortable.
The location is excellent, very close to San Marco and the Rialto Bridge as well as several excellent places for pastries/coffee (try Farini for breakfast)! I think the apartment was also fairly near a popular hotel. The proximity to the hotel created some noise in the alley during afternoon siesta and early evening due to a large, boisterous group staying at the hotel but if we closed the windows it was ok.
Two items to note about this apartment: 1) There is no elevator. We counted the stairs and it was about 50 steps from the street to the apartment landing. This was no issue for us but travelers with small children or a lot of luggage may want to take this in to account. For us it was fine and our FitBits were so happy! =D 2) Our only negative was that the water pressure was a bit low. I have long, thick hair and washing it required extra attention. I did not reduce the rating for this as it wasn't a really big deal and I'm not sure if that was an apartment issue or just a function of Venice but I wanted to mention this finding for other travelers.
We loved this apartment and would recommend it to friends and family. Give Sandra's place a try!
