This is a very clean, brilliantly located apartment in the district of Castello.
The walk to San Marco is about 20 minutes, but as meandering through Venice is a delight, you really don’t feel the time. It’s about 10 minutes to Arsennale and the Vaporetto stop.
The flat is light and includes a beautiful ceiling in the kitchen-living room. The bath is very welcome after a day of walking through the city.
The building is tucked away in a courtyard that’s reached through a closed alley which feels like a tunnel!
There are shops and restaurants nearby, but the close neighbourhood is very quiet.
Laurence was very communicative, giving us great advice on how to get there by boat from the airport, organising the city-stay documentation and sending instructions on appliances through the app. He wasn’t in Venice on our arrival, but I quite liked being able to flop down after a day of travelling, and he’d left everything we needed for a smooth and easy stay.
I highly recommend the apartment, the neighbourhood and, of course, a trip to Venice is absolutely unforgettable.
