Our stay in Carlos' apartment in Venice was very enjoyable and comfortable for five. The apartment was clean and included all of the necessities for a traveling family minus a microwave or toaster. That wasn't a problem as there are numerous restaurants, cafes in the immediate area. The language barrier wasn't a problem as everything was well laid out and instructions provided in English. It is air conditioned, a huge plus, and the beds are large and comfortable. The bathroom is great with a fantastic shower. Located within a locked entry way from the canal side street it is very quiet even with crowded restaurants just outside.
A grocery store is very close and the water taxi drop off is an easy walk. The best part about this place is that you aren't overrun with tourists. The area is very nice, there is plenty to see and do and the main attractions of Rialto and San Marco are easy enjoyable walks. The benefit is that it is relaxing and energizing.
We would definitely recommend this place for others to stay. It is well accommodated and fairly priced.
