We met Alex’s sister at the Rialto Mercato stop and she walked us to our apartment. She made it easy to check in, and also speaks English, which we appreciated since we don’t speak Italian very well. The apartment met our expectations and was very clean. The San Polo neighborhood is great for cicchetti and is also nicely situated away from the hustle of San Marco. There are 3 flights of stairs up to the apartment, so being able bodied is a must. The croissants in the morning were also a lovely touch! We would definitely recommend.
