My girlfriend and I stayed here in July...and it was a perfect place to escape the heaving summer crowds. About a 15 minute walk from St. Marks square, it is a pleasant but hot walk along the waterfront. Staying here you get the authentic experience as the flat is situated right amongst the local Venetians with fish and fruit markets popping up every morning. During our stay we always had a point of contact with quick responses and they were happy to help with anything we needed. Can definitely recommend to anyone wanting a peaceful stay in Venice!
