This place is beautiful! The beds were comfortable and the showers were great! There are two flights of stairs to go up to get to the apartment; therefore, this place isn’t for the handicap. The apartment is located at the Rialto stop on public transportation, which is easy to navigate in Venice. There is no reason to pay for a water taxi. We bought 2 day pass tickets to hop on and off, which were extremely economical. It can cost 7-8 euros each time you get on public transport. We used our passes to go to Murano, and you can also access the train stations and airport as well with them.
