One of the most important things you must know if you visit Venice for the first time is that the city is basically an Island. Obvious you would say but you land on an airport on land and have no choice than take a waterbus / watertaxi in order to come at the heart of Venice.
These water transports don't have many stations where they can land you off and from there you start walking (no other choice) throught the tiny labyrinthic streets with loads of bridges, stairs, bumpy pavements.
Basicaly, the nearest you are to a station the best and most conveniant it is and Giorgio's house is at, litteraly, 15 seconds from the San Stae Vaporetto station.
My point is that, Giorgio's flat is a GEM that has a very rare advantage and must be taken into consideration when visiting Venise.
Last but not least, the flat is absolutely magnificent, freshly refurbished and like new.
To summerize, our stay at the flat was perfect because it is ideally located and like new
