Excellent location between Rialto bridge and St Marks square and within a short walk of each but along a quieter narrow lane so not too busy considering how close it is to the main sites. Local reasonably priced places to eat and good quality takeaway pizza and close to a number of small supermarkets if you want to eat in. Overall great place to be.
Great communication and welcome providing good local tips which were very helpful. Couldn’t fault the hosts! Thank you Maurizio and Francesca!
The actual place is well equipped and everything has been done to a high standard with two bedrooms and additional sleeping space with sleeper sofa if needed (which we did). The air conditioning / heating is modern and works very well - it was very welcome in August. We loved staying there and were sad to leave.
Venice itself is breathtaking - we took the water taxi from the airport which is expensive than the regular boat but what a way arrive! We took the normal boat back to the airport and that was regular, reliable and €15 each. St Marks square with live music, the Basilica, waterfront, Rialto bridge and the Doge’s Palace (we went after dark and had the place nearly to ourselves) were all beautiful.
What we liked most was wandering the narrow lanes and paths and we walked across the different areas of the city over many bridges and through squares. Every turn has a great view and something interesting to see. In particular, the Ghetto / Getto area was really interesting and well worth a visit - it also has well priced places to eat.
Overall we had a great time, ate good food at reasonable prices and saw amazing sites many of which were free. The apartment is exactly as described and added to our stay - the reviews are accurate. As a family we loved Venice and are already talking about returning. All highly recommended.
