The truth is that Venice is a hard city to navigate though. The crowds, the medieval labyrinth of streets, the canals. Get an apartment close to the things you wish to see. My family and I just had a great trip to Venice and this apartment was a big part of it. Its central location and spacious rooms--three honest bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large living room and a large kitchen make the place pretty efficient. There are super-cute views through all the windows. Oh, and there is a lovely little outdoor deck for two off the master bedroom. No elevator and 70 steps to get up to the place--that might be an issue for some. But communication with the host was easy, picking up and dropping off the keys a snap. I'm very satisfied and would stay in this apartment any time.
