If you are looking for quaint cute apartment in the Rialto area, you will not be disappointed! As is usual in Venice, the 1st floor is up a flight of stairs. Our host, Matteo, was very welcoming and communicated with us in a very timely manner when we had questions. The Rialto Mercato vaporetto stop is a very short walk from the apartment. Also, the fish and produce markets are around the corner and there are numerous bars, restaurants, coffee shops and shops in the immediate neighborhood. Also, it is an easy walk to San Marco with much to see and experience as you explore along the way. Enjoy the atmosphere, Aperol spritz, wine, food, people and sights of beautiful Venice.
