The apartment was wonderful, comfortable, very clean and with all of the amenities of home. The washer and dryer was so helpful as we had been in another European city before arriving in Venice. The location is a little off the beaten path in Santa Croce which we liked and we found the local neighborhood to be charming. We walked to everything from the apartment but it is also not far from a local Vaporetto (water bus). The staff was attentive, responsive and very helpful with anything we needed and quickly responded to any minor issues that came up in the apartment. They also supplied us with a great manual on what to do and where to eat, what sites are in each neighborhood, etc. I recommend it especially for families, very comfortable and spacious. If I ever plan to visit Venice again, I will certainly stay at 5 Ca' Del Monastero.
