The Venice apartment is great for a stay in Venice. It is right above the hustle and bustle of the touristy region of st marks square. It really does only take a few minutes to walk to this area. The downside to being so close is it is a bit noisy at night, but trade-offs for convenience! It is a walk up, so you have a few flights to go up. The place itself was clean and perfect for what we needed for a short stay there! We walked just about everywhere and it was nice when we got lost to just be able to find the square and get home from there. Overall, would recommend !
