The location is awesome, half way between the train station and saint marks basilica. Opening the main door in the morning was a breathtaking experience as you looked into the canal with the sun shining.... absolute beautiful!!! The apartment was very comfortable for four and the washing machine and 2 bathrooms were a god send! supermarket and restaurants galore 100m away. There are stairs but it is Venice it is a way of life! Overall a great place to stay
