The location of the apartment is perfect in that it is within easy reach of St Marks the Grand Canal but also in a great neighbourhood with superb cafes and deli/ice cream parlours.
Having entered by the discrete street level doorway and negotiated the 66 steps up to the apartment you are in for a treat. The apartment is superb. Spacious rooms with clean lines yet characterful features await with two large terraces on which to relax and unwind. The bathrooms are stylishly appointed and all floors are covered in quality timber and tile finishes. Windows are very secure and shuttered. This was important during our stay as the sun was intense. The shutters combined with the excellent aircon made our stay very comfortable. Andrea is to be congratulated on the quality of the accomodation which we found difficult to leave. We felt like we could quite easily have stayed permanently and be very happy. I would say the stairs were a slight challenge particularly in heat of the day but I am not particularly fit and managed several times a day! There is no elevator so visitors with mobility issues may struggle but that could be said of Venice as a whole.
If you are able, book this apartment. You will not regret it.
