The proximity to the train station is UNBEATABLE. Just a short 5 minute (practically straight line) walk from Santa Lucia. Tons of great restaurants, bars, gelatterias in the area and within a reasonable distance if you’d like to venture out even further by foot. Rialto Bridge was only a 20 minute walk, while the San Marco Basilica is only a little bit further. There are also a number of water buses, taxis and gondolas to take you wherever your feet can’t!
The apartment itself is clean and safe. Comes equipped with espresso, an Italian coffee maker (older style, on the stovetop) and a few snacks.
WIFI Internet only seemed to have a bar or two while in the kitchen, otherwise forget about using it in the main bedroom. It’s not the end of the world since you’ll spend most of your time outside, but it gets annoying when you’re trying to connect with friends/family at the beginning/end of the day or check any emails.
During our stay there was construction going on right outside our window (main bedroom) which was an ear sore starting at 8am. Who knows how long it will last for, but good to know in the meantime...
All in all, a good visit! We enjoyed Venice very much and the proximity this location had to everywhere we wanted to go.
