This is a very well equipped first floor flat, tucked away down a tiny street off the Campo Santa Maria Formosa, but you are met and shown around on arrival. Inside the flat is very spacious, homely and comfortable. There is even a pretty courtyard to sit out in, a haven from the busy world of Venice just outside. There are lots of local food shops, a good supermarket and a fruit and vegetable market stall, so you can prepare meals in the kitchen and/or eat out. There are all sorts of interesting things in the surrounding area, e.g. the Librairie Aqua Alta is just round the corner, but it is so easy to get around the sights of Venice as it is not too far to walk to the Vaporetto at Rialto, from which you can get almost anywhere. My companion and I went to Venice mainly to paint watercolours, but quickly found a lot of other distractions!!
