We went to Venice with two young kids (2 and 4 years). We were a little worried at first about the lack of curtains on the windows (sunlight means early waking for young kids) but the apartment had wooden shutters that you could close easily and worked better than blackout curtains! The apartment was really clean and very tidy. Heating was also good and we were very thankful for it as temperatures were close to freezing when we were there. The location was really good! A short walk from everything. We were a little apprehensive about being able to get to the apartment with the luggage and the kids (and a pram) at first but it wasn’t difficult at all. The check in location is right next to the bus station and the water bus stops really close by the apartment after. Despite being close to the main San Marco square, it was quiet and we all got good sleep at night. As others reviewers have mentioned, the apartment is on the second floor and has a long flight of steps to it, but nothing my 2 year old found difficult to handle really! After all, if you are coming to Venice you have to be ready to walk and climb steps! We will definitely come back and stay here again the next time we visit Venice.
