What a great apartment! On a quiet alley off a main street, the apartment is beautifully renovated and appointed. Close to vaporatto stop, San Marco Plaza, Accademia, etc. Besides, nothing in Venice is very far away, just a short walk or boat ride. Sammy met us at the vaporatto stop (the process of getting there is way easier than it sounds to the uninitiated... and the vapo rides are such fun!), walked us to the apartment and got us settled an oriented. The shower thing is no big deal but the apartment is great..
