The apartment is in a wonderful central location away from the worst crowds of S. Marco yet easily accessible for all the sites with the whole of the city in easy walking distance. The apartment is quiet and cozy, perhaps a little tired in the kitchen and bathrooms but very comfortable and with plenty of space for 5 adults sharing. Alessandro was a great host, very helpful on arrival, meeting us at the Vaporetto stop, and full of helpful suggestions. He appreciated that I know Venice very well and was able to come up with a few more unusual ideas for exploring more tourist free areas of the city. Thoroughly recommended for location and convenience.
