This is a super location in the heart of San Marco. It's a 3-minute walk to a stop on the public water taxi in one direction and a 5-minute walk to San Marco square in the other. Looking out a window in the living room you can watch and hear the gondola's go by - a truly Venetian experience. Dmitri, Alessia's son, was a great host. He met us at the train platform and escorted us by water taxi to the apartment, gave us the lay of the land and recommendations for sightseeing and food options. He also arranged our return transfer to the airport when we left. Good experience!
