We had a wonderful stay at Annalisa's!
My daughter (7-years old) and I had a 3-night stay at Annalisa's. It's a walk-up (ground floor) apt. It is located in a calm, quiet, safe, square. The apartment is just 10 meters from a walkway to the main tourist areas (S Marco, Rialto) and very close to another walkway to Piazzale Roma for good connection to the train, tram and bus to the airport/mainland.
Annalisa had very good communication with us at booking, again a week before the trip, again the day before with practical advice to find the apartment and she was on-time outside the apartment to deliver a very pleasant check-in experience.
There is not a place in Venice that you cannot reach by foot within an hour from this apartment. Most of the tourist sites, within 20-30 minutes. We did a kayak tour and walking tour in Cannaregio (north Venice), we easily walked there within 30 minutes. This apartment is so well located, in hindsight, we overspent on the public transportation card!
A grocery store/liquor store was located in another square, a short 5-minute walk away.
We used the kitchen to cook a bit of breakfast. Well-equipped kitchen to make some eggs, toast and coffee. Wine glasses for a nightcap. There was a half-fridge, stove, microwave and a cabinet full of dinnerware and utensils.
Bathroom was very clean and modern. Loved the shower, with the rain shower head and the little window with fresh air coming through.
The beds were comfortable. Linens fresh and clean.
We didn't turn on the TV, but there is one. WiFi worked brilliantly.
The best thing about Annalisa's place is that you will feel like you are living like a local Venetian. It's off the beaten path just enough to be quiet, but conveniently located.
The only negative: the ceilings are thin. You can hear hard-soled footsteps, dropped objects at the neighbors upstairs, pretty late into the evening (to be fair, it disturbed us only 1/3 nights). There is not much that can be done about this, it's par for the course apartment living. As a fairly light sleeper, I might pack earplugs next time. Or drink more wine!
We would gladly book and stay at Annalisa's again. All the best!
