Frederica's apartment is a lovely little one bedroom place just outside of the hustle and bustle of Rialto Bridge. We chose the property because of the of the little courtyard and I am really glad we did - it was so nice to have a bit of outside space and whilst the whole area is shared with one other flat, it feels private. The flat itself is clean and well equipped with a fun retro feel - there is air conditioning which was a god send for us in the July heat. The location is a short walk from the San Stae vaporetto stop - though it can take up to 40 mins to get to San Marco Square from the Vaparetto - we chose to walk it as it was only 20 mins on foot. We loved the location: its just out of the busy main touristy area and surrounded by loads of authentic bars and restaurants. Frederica was fantastic, she met us at San Stae and took us to the apartment - she gave us lots of good tips and was on hand the whole stay if we needed any help. I would recommend staying here if you want an authentic Venetian experience.
