We could not have imagined a better place to stay in Venice. The location is very central, with Gucci and Chanel shops right out the window, and Piazza di San Marco only a few steps away.

I have read that finding your hotel can be one of the most challenging tasks in Venice, which is why we were so grateful that our host was there waiting as soon as we got off the vaporetto. Although he gave us detailed instructions on which vaporetto to take, we still managed to take the wrong one. From the train station, there are 3 vaporettos. Make sure to take the one ALL THE WAY to the left, not the one in the middle.

The apartment was extremely luxurious, and our hosts went out of their way to make sure our stay was pleasant. From stocking the refrigerator to providing rain boots and umbrellas, they predicted everything we might need. They are marvelously dedicated.

The only negative is the our stay did not feel very private. While we did not see our hosts often, they entered the apartment daily while we were away in order to clean, close the windows, etc. This might be expected in a hotel, but usually with Airbnb we expect a bit more privacy.

If we were to stay in Venice again, the Suite by St Mark's would be our first choice. Thank you for the great experience.
