We spent four nights in Mauro's apartment with two kids, and it was really a pleasant stay. It's a very cozy maisonette apartment in a three-storey house on the embankment, with two sleeping accommodations on the first floor and the other two on the second floor, and also with a convenient kitchenette and a bathroom. The location seemed perfect to us. On the one hand, it is a bit aside from the crowds of tourists, but, on the other hand, it's just twenty minutes walking distance to San Marko. There are also a couple of vaporetto stops not far from the house, and it's easy to get wherever you'd like to (for example, to the islands Murano, Burano and Torchello as we did one day), or to return from long walks around the city (which was important for us, because the kids could get tired). There is also a good supermarket not far from the house. And we really enjoyed the atmosphere in the apartment itself. If we have a chance to come to Venice again, it would definitely be my choice.
