This is a very stylish and modern apartment, nicely furnished and with beautiful Murano glass lighting and ornaments. It was immaculately clean and very well equipped with everything from quality towels to dishwasher tablets. It was a treat to get up in the morning and look out to a very picturesque stretch of canal. The apartment is in a great location barely 5 minutes from Arsenale waterbus stop which makes it very easy to get to/from the train station and airport. From there, St Mark's Square is a pleasant 10 minute walk along the front of the lagoon. This is such a nice walk. We like the surrounding Castello district were the mega yachts are docked, just along from the park in the opposite direction from St Mark's Square. Here you will find restaurants and bars in tranquil Via Garibaldi where there are more locals than tourists. There is a small supermarket on this street. Cristian and Franchesca were the perfect hosts. They even contacted us during our stay to make sure we had a pleasant experience in Venice as well as their lovely apartment. We can't thank them enough and can think of nothing they could do to improve the apartment or their service.
