The apartment is perfectly located near the Giglio vaporetto stop which meant no need to drag suitcases through the narrow alleyways and up and over bridges in busy Venice. It is very central and exactly where you need to be to access all the tourist hot spots. We loved how close it was to the 'Fenice' theatre when we went to the opera. In addition it is close to the Accademia bridge - less crowded than the Rialto bridge if you want to cross the Grand Canal on foot. The apartment itself was very well appointed and in a beautiful old building. It was well equipped with everything you could wish for including a washing machine and dishwasher! We loved the windows onto the canal with frequent serenades from passing gondolas. Francesca met us at the Giglio boat stop and was very helpful and friendly. She orientated us to Venice and gave us good recommendations. We had a marvellous time in the apartment and would love to stay here again - it's hard to imagine a better spot in Venice!
