We stayed in Cinzia's apartment while in Venice. The location was very handy. 10mins from both Rialto and St Marco Square. It was a bit confusing getting there by water bus. Seems we took the wrong number but Cinzia sent us a porter to where we were to help with our luggage as we were travelling with a baby and a lot of luggage.
The apartment is on the ground floor of the building on a little canal with windows overlooking the water so we could watch the gondolas as they passed. The apartment itself is quite nice. We found it clean, modern and spacious enough. Bed was comfortable and although the shower was small, the hot water and pressure were fine.
There are a few restaurants just outside the apartment and on arrival, we were given a list of recommended restaurants in the area.
If you don't mind a short stroll to the main attractions then this apartment is a great option.
