We highly recommend this gem of an apartment in San Marco was the perfect place for our 8 days in Venezia!! You are literally two blocks from Piazza San Marco, Doges Palace, the Basicilica!! Yes, these places are very crowded during the day but at night all the day trippers and cruise people are gone, which is why we booked an evening guided tour for the Basilica and Doge's Palace...they were empty so you could actually see and hear and not feel like a packed sardine; then we had only a 2 minute walk back to our cozy apartment. The apartment is very secure, very comfortable, lots of hot water, and great water pressure!! The dishwasher came in handy, as did the washer!! Once you figure out where you are, you realize you can get the 5.1 and 5.2 waterbuses (and others) without going over any bridges. The kitchen is fully stocked, but who wants to cook while in Italy??!! Next door, there is a little place we went every morning for fresh squeezed OJ, croissants and coffee. Very close is Osteria Pozzo Roverso, our favorite restaurant in Venezia, but ask to sit in the garden. There is a geleteria just past the old well. You are surrounded by restaurants and bars in every direction, yet with the shutters closed we heard very little of the street noise and slept very well. You will not regret choosing this apartment!!
