We were on vacation with another family, total of 7 people, for our first visit to Venice. The city was everything we expected and hoped for. The apartment was right in the middle of town and close to everything, St. Marks Square, Bridge of Sighs, Rialto Bridge, water taxis, gondolas, etc. It literally overlooks a canal where the gondola tours go by. In the evenings we would be serenaded by the passing gondoliers. For dinner and lunch we would just try any of the local restaurants and they were all fabulous. The apartment is right next to an organic grocery store and we also found a regular grocery store about 5 minutes walk from the apartment.
Alberto was very responsive when we needed anything.
The only trouble we had was that it was quite hot when we were there and when we ran all of the air conditioning units in the apartment, it would trip the fuse. We eventually figured out that if we only ran the AC in the main living room and turned off the ones in the bedrooms or vice versa at bedtime, the AC worked fine. The wifi worked well.
The apartment is very cool and the 7 of us were very comfortable. It is very stylish with cool paintings in every room and an interesting look and feel to the place.
Overall, cant beat the location and we would stay there again!
