Congratulations! You have found the perfect spot to rent in Venice for a family of four or two couples. Ideally located next to Rialto Bridge, bustling with excitement and food/drinks/shopping/people watching at all times- yet the flat is still somehow quiet. Above/adjacent the Hotel Marconi, across Canal from Vaparetto and Taxi stops so very easy to find and deal with your luggage (though up and over Rialto). Simple check in with lockbox. Stairs up are a bit crazed but typical Europe, then into the flat. Building is probably 1000 years old but flat is modern and has comforts- you will only sleep here- let’s get real. Three bathrooms was awesome for older teens. Washing machine is great but washing only- with drying racks/ so don’t do cotton (cotton is rotten- bring good travel clothes). Most importantly the AC kicks during a heat wave. Location is obviously the best part if you want to be in the mix, with easy walking access- 15 mins since there are no straight lines in Venice to St Marks, you are next to the Rialto Bridge, $60 Euro water taxi to Murano, a jillion restaurants, shops, etc. Eat gelato every day- find the good ones. Had a delicious Cappuccino and Croissant for breakfast with Ricardo, a waiter for 18 years at the hotel downstairs on the canal- which didn’t smell even during our heatwave. And the best part, the service we received from the owner/team was fantastic. Easy check in, but the AC was in some strange mode and it was very hot upon our arrival. Valentina was on it- had service to us within 30 mins- fixed and happy. So after all of this… just book it now and be grateful you are visiting Venice. An experience of a lifetime.
