We loved both the apartment and its location. Laura and her husband were so nice. Laura met us on arrival and gave us an overview of restaurants, grocery, and pharmacies in the area—plus a bottle of prosecco! Our 4-year daughter was thrilled with the toys and books. We were able to leave our bags with Laura’s husband on the last morning and pick them up with no problem. It was extremely hot when we arrived, so we were very happy for the air conditioning.
We were really happy with the location. Very close to train station, the Realto, and some really great restaurants, but off the beaten path enough that the alleys weren’t crowded. We even found that we could walk down alleys in the middle of the day and not see another tourist. You really get a taste of the real Venice.
One note. This is a 3rd floor unit, so there are several steep flights of stairs. Even though my daughter is 4-years old and my wife is 7-months pregnant, we were perfectly fine using the stairs and there is a small elevator. But it might pose some challenges for people with a lot of luggage or mobility challenges.
