We arrived in Venice by train and Matteo's apartment was only about a 10 minute walk from the train station. That was helpful because we had large and heavy pieces of luggage! In addition to the proximity to the train station, the apartment is in a great location for reaching the Rialto Bridge and St. Mark's Square. It is about a 15 minute walk to the Rialto Bridge. The apartment is located in a quieter residential area which we really enjoyed but still offered the benefits of being very walkable to virtually anywhere you might want to visit. There is a grocery store about 3-4 minutes away if you want to pick up a few things to have breakfast in the apartment. The apartment has a small and lovely private courtyard in the back for enjoying your morning coffee. The apartment is clean and has everything you need for a short stay. We had a bit of trouble finding it just because of the twists and truns in Venice Streets! Matteo is a gracious host.
