The apartment is perfectly located, short walk to Rialto bridge and very close to the San Stae ferry stop. There are also piers for water taxis. Irene’s father met and welcomed us when we arrived on our water taxi, conveniently pre-booked by Irene and waiting for us at the train station when we arrived. There is a washer you can use with laundry detergent already provided. Irene’s father, Michele, provided us with local guide books available for guests to use. One consideration is that there is no lift and the apartment is on the 3rd floor, but we knew that going in, no regrets from us whatsoever. If a lift is important to you, you just need to be aware that you will need to carry your luggage up. The apartment was very clean, spacious, and very comfortable. I will definitely try to book with Irene again when (not if) I return to Venice.
