Staying at the apartement of Giorgia and Michele is like feeling home. The apartement is situated at the third floor of a neat complex and has a 5 window view over a typical Venetian canal (with gondolas!) and garden at the other side of this canal. All rooms are clean, the kitchen is well equiped, the shower good (big bath towels included) and sleeping area is very comfortable with air-conditioning if you need it. There are good restaurants in the area, for breakfast there is a nice cafe just around the corner and a supermarket at 2 min walk with everything you need. The Rialto bridge is at only 15 minutes and on the road you can find the great 'real' market with high quality fish, fruits and vegetables. Very nice in the afternoon is the closely situated Campo di S. Giacome dell' Orio which also has an Enoteca with fine Italian wines. Big touristic spots like Piazza San Marco/Basilica San Marco/Pallazo Ducale and Gallerie dell'Accademia are good reachable by foot and if you don't want to walk at the end of the day you can take the vaporetto back to the vaparettostop 'Riva di Biaso' which is near the house. In short: a perfect place for exploring Venice. We cannot find a reason for not coming back here.
