This is a nice, spacious apartment in a great location in Venice. The Realto mercardo area is an excellent base for exploring the island and is a very short walk to two vaporetto stations. It's a bustling area with the Realto fish and vegetable markets right on your doorstep (literally) and a good number of bars, restaurants and shops nearby. The check-in was straightforward with Alex's sister (as this was after 7pm there was an additional charge - though this appears to be typical for AirBnBs in Venice). The apartment was very clean and appears to have been recently renovated - the shower room is particularly luxurious. Although it's not obvious from the photos, the apartment is on the 2nd floor and does have natural light, although it's not blessed with particularly great views. A point to mention is that the bars right next the apartment were very busy on Saturday and Sunday night; although the windows are modern and double glazed there was a still a bit of noise. If you're planning to go out for drinks on an evening this is arguably a positive as the Realto Mercardo area seemed to be the liveliest in the whole city, however if you're hoping for an early night this might be something to keep in mind. Overall this place is recommended.
