Great apartment in the Arsenale district of Venice. The apartment was more spacious than I expected, with lovely original features such as the stained glass and the beams - which gives it character and charm. The lighting is eccentric but on the whole the flat is well appointed and I had an enjoyable stay.
The area has some lovely local restaurants and two convenient supermarkets, It is 1 minute - over no bridges- from the vaporetto stop so convenient for visitors with suitcases and the flat is on the first floor, but the stairs are not steep.
There is a really nice little bar behind the flat, just in front of the Arsenale main gate, the Porta Magna, where you can sit in the sunshine eating breakfast of freshly baked croissant and watch sailors going up the canal in their smart uniforms.
