Marla's apartment was completely renovated in 2021 and I had the honor of being the first guest after its renovation! I often come to Venice for work (I am a restorer) and every time, I try to choose an apartment as close as possible to the place of my intervention .. Well, this apartment is wonderful for several reasons! it is 5 'walk from San Marco and 3' from the Arsenale, at the same time it is located in an authentic and folkloristic area while being so close to the landmarks of the city. It is also surrounded by delicious restaurants (still managed by Venetians) and small local craft shops, nowhere to be found in Venice.
The apartment is large and spacious and very weel furnished in an elegant, stylish but informal way. Decors and furnitures are excellent, the bathrooms are exceptional (also a splendid bathtub and and an extra large shower!!). The master bedroom has one of the bathroom ensuite, and the room is so airy and particular, with great taste in mixing baroque furniture with contemporary design pieces.
The kitchen is modern and functional with all brand new appliances, the alcove is a wonderful space for reading and relaxing and the living area and entrance are lovely places to stay for the great combination of comfort, views and functional spaces.
But the highlight is certainly the canal views... while you have breakfast you will see the Gondolas pass a few meters away from you ... Simply a dream!
I will return to this apartment next month and I have also recommended it to my daughter who will be coming in a few days!
It's great, don't miss it!
