This was a delight, but understand what Venice is really like -

PLUSES - Sandras was just wonderful. She showed us which map to buy and spent some time orienting us to sites around Venice as well as favorite eating places.

The apartment was spacious (by European standards) and quite comfortable.

The location is near the Rialto bridge...it is perfectly situated to go do the "tourist stuff" or to wander in the other direction and find quiet streets and canals. We could not have been happier with were the apartment is.

WHAT TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION -
Venice was not built for rolling suitcases. No matter where you go there are stairs...everywhere. Handicapped ramps? Not here. so getting in and out with suitcases is a challenge. The walk from the Rialto bridge is not as bad as other walks you could have.

There is no elevator...50 narrow steps up to the apartment. Again, with suitcases (and I always over pack...my own fault) it is a challenge.

INTERESTING - Washer but no dryer. There is a clothesline so do laundry early and hang it out before you leave for the day.
