What a wonderful, spacious and centrally located place to stay for our family of 6. The 2 bathrooms were most welcomed with 4 kids. Giorgio met us at the Rialto station and walked us there. We felt very confident getting around as it was centrally located between piazza San Marco and Rialto station.
Dishwasher was fab, air cons were great, the one in the main bedroom broke down the night before we arrived due to heavy rain the previous night but Giorgio had a fan set up ready for us which was such a relief as I don't manage well in the heat or humidity. There were also umbrellas which came in handy as it rained a little during our stay.
Our older girls had an air con in their room and the 2 younger ones had the air con for the living area as they slept on the fold out couch. The washing machine/dryer was awesome as I needed to wash each day. The supermarket was close by so we could stock up for our stay or grab anything we needed. Restaurants everywhere as location was awesome (did I say that already?) Bring extra luggage for your shopping as we certainly regretted choosing a small suitcase for our son. Giorgio allowed us to leave our luggage a little longer on the morning of departure which made it so much easier for us to get around.
The main bedroom has a balcony onto the canal. One morning we woke to serenading from a gondola below. There is a little bridge to the left of the balcony so please remember if you decide to check the view upon waking, do make sure you are dressed appropriately!
The apartment was recently renovated with new appliances, which was great. As I'm typing my daughter keeps saying it was spacious! There was one level of stairs to reach the apartment which was tricky with our heavy luggage but Giorgio helped upon our arrival and we managed on departure. The walls are very thick so we weren't bothered by noise from other apartments. Overall a wonderful place to stay.
