Our family of 7 stayed at this great home. We arrived Venice by train and the check-in location is very convenient, 5 minute walk. If in a group, I'd recommend that others stay back with luggage as there is a bridge to cross. Then you can take the vaporetto to Saint Marks stop. The location is perfecto! Close to all the tourist attractions which was critical with our elderly mom. The only drawback was the late night street noise but with this prime location it's really hard to avoid. This is on a 2nd floor with access only via stairs. It was such a treat to walk out the doors and grab pastries, gelato or anything we desired within steps. The home was well equipped for all our needs & the washer is a great addition during travels. Highly recommended!
