Caterina is an incredible hostess! She was very quick to respond and gave us amazing food reccommendations for the area. The apartment views are stunning and the terrace is beautiful to enjoy a glass of wine and watch the boats zoom by on the Grand Canal. It’s an easy 10 minute walk to get from the Fondamente Nove where the Alilaguna water taxi drops you off from the airport, there’s a small grocery store a 1 min walk from the apartment which was perfect for wine, cheese and breakfast items as there is a minifridge in the home. There are quite a few steps (4 flights) to the apartment, we didn’t mind, but if you have heavy luggage, just be aware! Loved the area of Venice that this apartment was in, easy to get to the “‘main” attractions if you want to go (10 min walk to Rialto, ~20 min walk to Piazzo San Marco), but far enough away from the tourist foot traffic to explore quieter streets and areas of the city which we really loved. Grazie, Caterina!!
