The location of this flat is ideal, literally right next to Rialto market and the vaporetto stop, but on a street less crowded with tourists. It was also a treat to have the towels changed each day, like a hotel (and they have a laundry service downstairs). We were picked up at the vaporetto stop by Michela, a very lovely woman and extremely accommodating, letting us leave our bags downstairs for several hours after the normal check out time and coming back to let us in when she wouldn't have otherwise needed to, etc. Would recommend this place, particularly for a first trip to Venice when one might be seeking proximity to key sites.
