Spacious home from home in Fantastic location
The huge 3 bedroom apartment was perfect for this group of 4 adults but would also suit a family perectly, wih one large double bed and three singles. The flat was away from the crowds of tourists around St Marks Square and the Rialto yet these areas were easily reached by foot. In fact we walked eveywhere apart from a day pass on the boats used to good effect to travel down the length of Grand Canal, visit Murano and Burano. Our host met us at the ferry stop and we walked about 5 minutes (with very few bridges) to the apartment at the top of a typical venician palace - a lift took us from the first floor up to the apartment. We gathered at the kitchen table to plan our day over a coffee. The kitchen was fully equipped if you did want to cook at home and eat there or at the formal dining table. The one smoker in our group was happy to do so on the balcony off the kitchen. We absolutely loved the location on the Fondamenta de la Misericordia, packed with bars, cafes and restaurants frequented mainly by locals, and even better for my pals, only 5 minutes away from the best real ale pub in Venice! Highly recommended; would defiitely stay again. Sue
