This apartment is amazing. First, thanks to Roberta for being so accommodating and gracious: first, in allowing us to check in early, and then, for being so flexible when we missed our train and were an hour late.
The apartment is lovely, huge, and has all the amenities, including a king size bed, large living room, large dining room, well equipped kitchen and bathtub with jets. The apartment was immaculate and very comfortable. There is a canal out the windows where gondoliers pass by frequently, which is lots of fun. They do not, however, go late into the night, so that is not a problem.
And you could not have a better location. It is less than a five minute walk to the Rialto and a five minute walk to St. Mark's. Despite that, the apartment is a little off the beaten path, so the noise and crows are not a problem.
I am hoping to go to Venice again, and I would not think of staying anywhere else.
