Great home with an excellent location. Just a 5 minute walk (with kids) to the train station in Venice. Right next to the grand canal, and easily walkable to other great locations in the city. 22 minute walk from San Marco square, but we loved being out of the heavily touristed areas, but still minutes from Piazzale Roma, and other eateries and churches. Our kids especially loved the loft bedroom upstairs. It's a large apartment and felt safe with 2 doors to unlock to get to the apartment. Irene was great at communication and gave good tips to help us get from the airport to meet her at her home.
