Great communication and met by Monica at the waterbus stop a few steps from the courtyard front door. Waterbus from Airport was 27 euros return withfrequent service and transfer approx 1hr, taking in first glimpse of Venice andthe Grand Canal. Stunning courtyard but be aware there are 8 flights of steps to climb before entering the beautifully decorated apartment which has plenty of character. Apartment has all basic amenities to make your stay more comfortable and talking of comfortable the bed was fabulous . Also the apartment has 2 aircon units. Ideally located around 15mins walk to Saint Marco Square, 20mins to Rialto and 10mins to Accademia. Plenty of places to eat and drink in the vicinity although we did find it expensive. Caravella Bar was just around the corner on 'Millionaires Row' from apartment and made amazing cocktails but don't look at the prices ! The Corner Pub in Accedemia made amazing toasted sandwiches and cappuccinos, for 2 sandwiches and 5 coffees this came to 19 euros. Didn't go on gondola as this was 80 euros for 30mins and the canals were very congested. Overall a very lovely city to visit and experience the cultured
