The apartment was absolutely fantastic. The location was great because it was outside the primary tourist area yet it was still a walk away from the sites (Rialto market and St. Marks). Even better the vaporetto is a super short walk from the apartment and it's along the grand canal in case you're looking for great photo ops without spending a lot of money. In addition to the location the apartment itself was amazing. It was clean, spacious, and it had all the amenities you need - including a hair dryer, maps, bath products etc. The only draw back we're the handful of mosquitos caught in the apartment - which was mostly our fault (do not leave the windows open) I am prone to getting mosquito bites, so they were a bit of a nuisance. It would be nice to have some sort of mosquito repellent or trap in the apartment. But besides that 5 stars all around!
