We loved the apartment - it was quirky and historic and nice kitchen. Beds were comfortable and the place was very clean. Location was ideal as it was quiet around the flat but a stones throw from bars and restaurants. It was a short walk along the Grand Canal to San Marco but far enough away that the day trippers and cruise boat people didn't come to that area. The prices at the bars and restaurants nearby were much more reasonable than I expected. We had such a nice time wandering through all the little streets. it was very easy to find the apartment as it was close to the Arsenale stop on the water boat. Valeria was so helpful when we were planning our trip and gave us lots of tips and information about Venice. Highly recommend!
